There won't be anything relating to Firebird. xinetd is a daemon that just
runs there, waiting to be asked to do things. If it is asked to start a
firebird process (fb_inet_server) for a requesting client, it will do
that. All of those other scripts in xinetd.(besides firebird, such as cvs,
sshd-xinetd, rsync, etc.) are also just lying there waiting to be asked to
start something up.

After giving xinetd the restart command, check ps -ax again to see if
xinetd is running. If it is, then go ahead and try to connect a client.
