Programs in libexec are executables which are not useful if executed
from the shell.  For instance, telnetd expects an open socket on
stdin, not a terminal session; ld.so is part of program startup; cc1
is difficult to use except when started from the cc/gcc driver
program, etc., etc.,

whereas, inetd can be restarted from the shell and do what you want..
