Hi all, I just realized that my "talk" program doesn't work on FC1,. When I try to talk to a user, i.e talk someuser it gives me back "Error on read from talk daemon: Connection refused... press any key" then a "Checking for invitation on caller's machine." An rpm -qa|grep talk, gives: talk-server-0.17-21 talk-0.17-21 ytalk-3.1.1-14 meaning I've the server and client installed. My /etc/xinetd.d/talk reads; ---------------------------------------------------------------------- default: on # description: The talk server accepts talk requests for chatting with users \ # on other systems. service talk { disable = no flags = IPv4 socket_type = dgram wait = yes user = nobody group = tty server = /usr/sbin/in.talkd ------------------------------------------------------------------------- In the archives there's some guy who had the same problem but never could found the solution. Any help is appreciated! :-) With kind regards, Didier. --- PhD student.
