I asked:

The answer:

That should have been sufficient.  According to the brief writeup of inetconv
in the inetd.conf file as well as the man page, that should have created the
.xml file in the manifest and loaded it.  It created the manifest, but I
had to load it manually.  Once I did that I could manage it normally.  I
am not sure if this is a bug in inetconf or not, since I have only needed
to use it once so far.

And no, I did not use the -n option to inetconf.
