This has nothing whatsoever to do with (x)inetd. When IC is listening
in INET mode, it means that it connects through a port (7786) which is 
visible on the internet at large. In contrast, listening in UNIX mode, 
means that it is using an internal socket which is not visible to the 
internet at large. If it can't listen to the INET port, then most probably
that port is already in use by another instance of IC. In any event, it 
is better (more secure) to use UNIX mode only. Is your cgi owned 
by the IC user? And is it 'chmod u+s'? These latter points are covered
in the docs and the list archives.
