/etc/services doesn't tell you much at the best of times :0)

If the daemon in registered as an RPC service,
rpcinfo -p | grep 1109 will shed some light.

Some daemons will return some sort of banner when
connected to by a Telnet client, or if you then hit return
or speak some nonsense to them. Some do not.

Presumably this daemon didn't say anything useful
when you connected to it with telnet.

You could look in /etc/rc*.d/ for any 'weird' looking
(i.e. not shipped by Sun) S-scripts and use ps and pfiles
to find out what ports/sockets that any programs started
by them are using.

Are you running any database servers or somesuch?

Failing all that, download and install lsof:
    ftp://vic.cc.purdue.edu/pub/tools/unix/lsof/

...and do 'lsof -i :1109'
