Dear my friends,

I need to utilize talk in my office. but I don't know how to configure talk. This is the first time for me to use this talk software. If I just execute : "talk" in the console menu than I will find this error message : " [No connection yet]

I know that I have to configure talk-server (talk daemon) firstly. I know because there must be a software which working as a daemon to listen the call from another station. But I don't something usable in "/etc" directory. I thought there should something like this "/etc/talk.conf" and may be I can launch the talk daemon like this "talk-server" in the console line. But nothing I found.

Please tell me, where I should start from to configure "talk" and "xtalk"

Talk is initiated by inetd. Make sure you have inetd installed as well as the talk server. You then need to enable the talk server: Look for a line like: talk dgram udp wait root /usr/sbin/tcpd in.talkd in /etc/inetd.conf and uncomment it. You will then need to restart inetd: rcinetd restart you should then be able to use talk, Justin -- Justin Davies - Linux Administrator Cinesite Europe Ltd.
