If you do have "inetd" or "xinetd" installed, make sure that /etc/inetd.conf or /etc/xinetd.d exists. The configuration will continue, but you should re-run /usr/bin/vmware-config.pl after you fix the super-server.
You don't have xinetd installed (not installed by default). rpm -q xinetd || yum install xinetd and re-run vmware-config.pl
btw, if you have SElinux enforced you will probably need to run: restorecon -v /etc/services
