How did you gain root privileges? sudo is not pre-installed and configured in RHEL.
Try su - to gain root privileges. Its su <space> minus sign.

su -

I have logged with root and issued the command:
/etc/init.d/xinetd start
/etc/init.d/xinetd stop
/etc/init.d/xinetd restart
i even tried service xinetd start ---even it failed

still it is giving me the same error : comm
i have checked chkconfig --list
where i could not find xinetd service
-bash: /etc/init.d/xinetd: No such file or directory

please help me in detail how to solve this

It means xinetd has not been installed. Install it through default package manager or yum.

yum -y install xinetd
