You probably have running stand-alone daemons for the mentionend
services. While some daemons are started by the super deamon inetd some
can be started without. You'll need wether to stop the stand-alone
daemons or to comment out the lines for these services in
/etc/inetd.conf.
Only one process can listen on a pair of (address, protocol, port) at
once in order to make the distribution of connections to processes
possible. 0.0.0.0 is used for all IP addresses of the machine. If
another process does want to listen there too it does have to call
bind() which then will return a error code translating into the text
"Adress allready in use".
