$ rpm -q xinetd
xinetd-2.3.14-8

If you don't have it, yum for it.  It's possible that it was not installed 
originally if you did not install any package that requires it.

Are you running something that listens on port 902?

$ grep 902 /etc/services
ideafarm-chat   902/tcp                         # IDEAFARM-CHAT
ideafarm-chat   902/udp                         # IDEAFARM-CHAT
