[KLUG Members] Talk

[Jeremy Leonard]

It's supposed to start in xinetd But it doesn't seem to.

I tried starting it from the bash prompt. The server daemon I mean.
/usr/sbin/in.talkd

I know it uses UDP.

What does c'n'p mean.

below is listing of /etc/xinetd.d/talk

service talk
{
        disable = no
        socket_type             = dgram
        wait                    = yes
        user                    = nobody
        group                   = tty
        server                  = /usr/sbin/in.talkd
}

When I try to start the client I get:

Error on read from talk daemon: Connection refused. Press any key...

Okay, then how are *you* starting the talk server if xinetd is supposed
to be starting it? Or did you mean trying to start the talk client?

Can you c'n'p the relevant xinetd entry?

Hey, I'm just staying afloat myself.

Talk and ntalk are UDP protocols, IIRC.
