Actually your syntax above is the correct syntax most commonly used.

Your command line above uses the values in the startup script
in /etc/init.d/xinetd to select the runlevels to turn it on, and the
priority to use for both the start and kill sequences.
        # xinetd        This starts and stops xinetd.
        #
        # chkconfig: 345 56 50
With that it sets the start at priority/sequence 56 and stop at 50 and
will start in runlevels 3, 4, & 5

The syntax provided by Francois overrides the script values and sets the
runlevels in the command line.  In this case both are used identically.
