Hello,

I have installed talkd and it exposed itself to the world, binding on
address 0.0.0.0. I think it would be better if it binded to 127.0.0.1 by
default (just configure inetd.conf with 127.0.0.1:talk and
127.0.0.1:ntalk instead of only "talk" and "ntalk"). Then the user could
change it later if he see fit.

An option that would mean a little more work, but which seems more
interesting to me, is to ask the user for that during install. That can
be done using debconf.
