Hi there..
I have just changed from Red Hat to Mandrake 7.1 after using Red Hat for
six months or so.
When I installed Mandrake I chose "medium" security.
My problem is that when a remote user telnets into my machine, I cannot
communicate with him by using the "talk" program, I have to use the more
cumbersome "write program".
I make sure that "mesg = y", and then use the "who" command to see who
is logged in.
When I execute the "talk" program I get the following error message:
[ Error on read from talk daemon: Connection refused. Press any key... ]
which appears for about 5 seconds, then the following message appears:
[Checking for invitation on caller's machine]
I never had any problems with Red Hat in this regard. I can telnet into
my
friend's machine which has Red Hat 6.2, and start a "talk" session no
problems.
If anyone can help, it would be appreciated
Cheers
