Inetd is sensitive to the order of entries in /etc/inetd.conf. In
particualar, putting a non-rpc or non-internal type of entry in the file
after the rpc or internal entries does not work. If the new entry is after
the rpc entries, the portmapper and NFS fail.  If it is after the internal
entries, then the new entry does not work.

We discovered this while trying to implement the 4.3 BSD version of talk.
We used this line:

  ntalk	dgram	udp	wait	root	/usr/local/etc/in.ntalkd in.ntalkd

It must come before the internal and RPC entries in inetd.conf for talk to
work at all.

This behavior is very non-intuitive, to say the least!

Thanks,
