Talkd does not seem to use the proper settings in inetd.conf. I believe it should use 'udp4' rather than 'udp'. Changing this and adding the 'nobody' to the tty group seems to fix the permissions issues. This is for talkd 0.17-13 on Ubuntu 9.04 (I also experience the same issues before upgrading to Jaunty)
