I think I had this problem on another machine, can't remember the fix.
Basically, talk does not connect. I get the message [No connection yet]
and [Checking for invitation on caller's machine]. hostname -f returns
the CNAME for the machine....
Aha!! OK, just fixed it myself. For the benefit of others:
I had the CNAME listed in /etc/hosts. Once I changed this to the A name
(ie. not the alias) it worked fine.
Live and learn, and re-learn.
