Have you checked inetd.conf? On newer versions of FreeBSD, it says:

# "Small servers" -- used to be standard on, but we're more conservative
# about things due to Internet security concerns.  Only turn on what you
# need.
#
#daytime stream tcp     nowait  root    internal
#daytime dgram  udp     wait    root    internal

(etc. for time, echo, discard and chargen).
