THE Handbook -
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/inetd.html
- says:
	inetd is initialized through the /etc/rc.conf system. The
 	inetd_enable option is set to ``NO'' by default, but is often
  	times turned on by sysinstall with the medium security profile.
	Placing:

	inetd_enable="YES"

	or

	inetd_enable="NO"

	into /etc/rc.conf can enable or disable inetd starting at boot
	time.

But you are right, I could swear it was always turned by default.

Uli.
