No, you don't need to reinstall. on the installation cd in the
directory /RedHat/RPMS there are a bunch of rpm files. the inetd
service is supplied by the package named inetd-0.16-4 on my
machine. It probably came from a file inetd-0.16-4.i386.rpm. You
need to install this package and the ones for the services you
want to supply via inetd. telnet-server (not secure consider ssh
instead) and wu-ftp supply telnet and ftp servers. There are
several updates to the wu-ftp package on the redhat site that you
should download and install rather than the one that came on the
cd.
Once you find the package.rpm file, you can install it using "rpm
-ivh filename" (no quotes) Thsi tell rpm to install a package
from the file, be verbose in the output and places hash marks on
the screen to monitor progress.
Hope this gets you going.
