Why inetd over xinetd? xinetd is replacing inetd AFAICT. inetd appears to
have been dropped from Debian Unstable, so eventually Stable too, and isn't
available as a standard ebuild in Gentoo.

In a latter post you state:
"I am using debian."
and:
"I'm using the bincimap debian package."

If the second statement was true bincimap-up would be in /usr/sbin. There is
also /usr/share/doc/bincimap/examples/xinetd-bincimap hence my question
about inetd/xinetd.
