Good evening,
I am trying to get my talkd up n running, but all I get is "Error on read from talk daemon, connection refused" when I ussue a talk <user>. I have found the mesg y command, and turned it on for all the consoles i'm trying to talk to, still no go. I have tried the /etc/xinetd.d/talk that I found at the end of This Thread, but to no avail. <-- that thread also had a few unhappy talkd users, so I guess i'm not alone here.
While googling for answers, I noticed the use of netstat -an to look for listening/open ports, and here is what I got:
| Code: |
Active Internet connections (servers and established)
Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address Foreign Address State
tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:901 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN
tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:139 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN

tcp 0 0 192.168.0.217:21 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN

raw 0 0 0.0.0.0:1 0.0.0.0:* 7

The thing I frowned at here was the fact that the two netbios ports, 137 and 138, both had two entries each, with 0.0.0.0 and my local LAN ip (192.168.0.217), while the talkd only had the 0.0.0.0 address. Does anyone know if this is a vital clue to my problem? Anyone know what's wrong?
thanks in advance. |

| Are you sure that you don't have a firewall script blocking that guy? Run "iptables -L" to be sure . . . |

Doesn't seem like it... iptables -L gave me this:
| Code: |
Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination
Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination
Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination
|
thanks for your input though. |

| Hmmmm. Not sure. Perhaps you could try ytalk instead? That'll allow you to have more than one user chatting at a time, too . . . Used to use that a lot back in college . . . |
