Its trying to look up a service called "rpc" in /etc/services and not
finding it.
On my -stable box there is one such set of ports:
courier 530/tcp rpc
courier 530/udp rpc
Look for "rpc\." in your inetd.conf to find the various things that use
this port.

You might just have a broken inetd.conf line that is (mis)interpreting.
Also make sure its using the inetd.conf you think it is :)
