As far as I know.  Here is the relavent lines from inetd.conf

#:BSD: Shell, login, exec and talk are BSD protocols.
talk            dgram   udp     wait    nobody.tty      /usr/sbin/in.talkd
     in.talkd
ntalk           dgram   udp     wait    nobody.tty     
/usr/sbin/in.ntalkd     in.ntalkd


I posted the entire file below your sig

TIA
