These lines are incorrect, and should not be in the file. The first one
(TCP) actually does function, though it's a waste since time is built in
to inetd.
The UDP line is no good. The server will NOT respond to it, and creates a
looping service that inetd shoots.

So, if you remove these lines, and add the ones I had above, both TCP and
UDP will then work.

Normally you should not need any of these other services enabled. Time,
though, can really be useful.
