No, it is known as a service - for example, the man page for Solaris
inetd.conf describes the first field on the line as <service name>.

I run nrpe using tcpwrappers and inetd on Solaris 8 so my inetd.conf
entry is slightly different, but that looks perfectly correct (presuming
there's a nagios user and Nagios is installed in /usr/local/nagios).
That suggests an error elsewhere. Is there an entry in /etc/services for
nrpe (port 5666/tcp)? Has inetd been restarted since inetd.conf was
changed? Running inetd in foreground debugging mode (see the man page
for how to do it) might give you some more information about what's
happening.
