yes, that was the disabled but that hasn't helped me.

hmmmm...I just tried this and had no problems. To start, I didn't have the talk-server installed.
<snip of history> 994 up2date talk-server 995 chkconfig --list 996 chkconfig ntalk on 997 service xinetd restart <end of snip>
Then I opened a couple of sessions and typed 'talk <username>' and everything worked as expected. One thing that I noticed when trying to get this to work on RH9 is that you only have to turn on ntalk, not talk itself. But, the command is still talk.
xinetd based services:
chargen-udp: off
rsync: off
chargen: off
daytime-udp: off
daytime: off
echo-udp: off
echo: off
services: off
time: off
time-udp: off
cups-lpd: off
sgi_fam: on
ntalk: on
talk: offAlso, I don't think the firewall would have any effect on talking to someone on the same host. I know I didn't make any special modifications, but then again, maybe (probably) I am not as secure as some others might be.
Good Luck.
