Anyone else having problems with the `talk' program? I'm referring to talk-0.17-17 According to man page for `talk' it seems that is all that is required and refers to contacting a talk daemon. However the only files installed with talk are: /usr/bin/talk /usr/share/man/man1/talk.1.gz No talkd which is mentioned in the `see also' part of `talk' manpage. This led me to think I needed another package `talk-server' but installing it causes `talk' to be uninstalled and vice versa. According to man page all I'm supposed to need is: `talk some_user' But trying that only gives me this screen: [No connection yet] [...] [ Error on read from talk daemon: Connection refused. Press any key... ] And then [Checking for invitation on caller's machine] At this point if I touch enter or any key I'm back to my prompt. There doesn't seem to be any `talk' service or anything under xinetd.d to be turned on. Further, typing `mesg' on some_user's terminal shows: $ mesg is y I see nothing in the manpage to indicate further steps are necessary.
