Hi.
I am trying to establish a talk connection with a sun (I have tried against
both SunOS4 and Solaris) and am failing. I was hoping someone might have had
experience of fixing this problem.
I have the redhat 5.2 ytalk and ntalk packages installed and use NIS. The talk
and ntalk protocols are both allowed in my inetd.conf and I have established
that my tcpwrappers are not effecting this. The effect of typing
talk username@sunmachine
is to get the following messages appearing
[Error on read from talk daemon : Connection refused (111). Press any key...]
Using
tcpdump host sunmachine
whilst trying to establish the connection yields
sunmachine > linuxmachine: icmp: sunmachine udp port ntalk unreachable (DF)
If I then log on to the sunmachine and trying to talk to my linuxbox I get the
following error
[Checking for invitation on caller's machine]
Thanks in advance.
Guy Warner
