I'm having trouble getting the talk daemon on my server to work.  When one
user tries to start a talk session all he gets is a message saying talk is
waiting for an invitation.  It just sits there.  When I tried ytalk it
told me there's no talk daemon on my server.  I've got slackware 9 on it.

I have the following in /etc/inetd.conf

talk	dgram	udp	wait	root	/usr/sbin/tcpd	in.talkd
ntalk	dgram	udp	wait	root	/usr/sbin/tcpd	in.talkd

and this in /etc/services

talk		517/tcp	   #like tenex link, but across
#			   machine - unfortunately, doesn't
#			   use link protocol (this is actually
#			   just a rendezvous port from which a
#			   tcp connection is established)
talk		517/udp	   #like tenex link, but across
#			   machine - unfortunately, doesn't
#			   use link protocol (this is actually
#			   just a rendezvous port from which a
#			   tcp connection is established)
ntalk		518/tcp
ntalk		518/udp


Am I missing something?

Thank you

Jim
