Editing those files isn't actually necessary. RedHat has made it easy by making them all 'chkconfig-able'. Run chkconfig --list You should see the services in /etc/xinetd.d/ listed. Then you can just chkconfig ftp on for example, then run /etc/init.d/xinetd restart Essentially all it does is modify the 'disable' line in /etc/xinetd.d/ftp.
