Same failure modes as you describe, connection refused reported by the talk app. So I do: [root@fastcat agreen]# tcpdump -nn host 192.168.0.200 tcpdump: listening on eth0 Then in another window [agreen@fastcat agreen]$ talk root@xxxxxxxxxxxxx yields 19:34:51.050965 192.168.0.66.34134 > 192.168.0.200.518: udp 84 (DF) 19:34:51.051206 192.168.0.200 > 192.168.0.66: icmp: 192.168.0.200 udp port 518 unreachable [tos 0xc0] Okay, the ICMP is from the firewall on 192.168.0.200, there is no server up. BUT The request is targeted at UDP port *518* When I look at what is listening locally udp 0 0 0.0.0.0:517 0.0.0.0:* 427/xinetd Maybe this is merely a feature of the apparently byzantine protocol, but it seems talk goes out on UDP 518 while it listens on UDP 517? - -Andy - -- Find your answer without waiting for replies....
