Hi Gerald,
My mistake....but when I run xinetd I still receive a read only error

[root (at mark) ns1 ~]# /etc/rc.d/init.d/xinetd restart
rm: cannot remove `/var/run/xinetd.pid': Read-only file systemOK  ]

rm: cannot remove `/var/lock/subsys/xinetd': Read-only file system
Starting xinetd:                                           [  OK  ]
touch: cannot touch `/var/lock/subsys/xinetd': Read-only file system
