hi

chkconfig --list | grep talk should list talk as on

else

chkconfig talk on would enable it

iptables -L should list firewall rules. make sure you are not blocking it

hi

517/udp is the port used to connect to talk. if its not explicitly disabled i need you to post the iptables rules. if its redhat it will be in /etc/sysconfig/iptables

nmap localhost

will tell you which ports are open. hope that helps

hi
it looks like talk is disabled. run this

chkconfig talk on

chkconfig --list | grep 5n should list talk as on.

iptables -F would flush the iptables rules

then try it from another system

Thanks Mr. Rahul Sundaram...

Actually I edit the /etc/xinetd.d/ntalk file and then write disable=no.....then it is working...

But another problem...how can I accept talk request...

when I am giving talk request it says.....

[rony@pc2 /]$

Message from Talk_Daemon@pc2.com at 18:15 ...
talk: connection requested by root@pc2.
talk: respond with: talk root@pc2

i think I have to press any key at keyboard to accept talk request...

can you help me again pls...

hi

the user at the other end has to respond to your request with talk username

read

man talk

or in konqueror

man:/talk or #talk
