Ugh. ytalk is standard with RedHat at least, and probably other distros. But ytalk is the client. What you need is the talk server. On my system, it is [EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# rpm -qi talk-server Name : talk-server Relocations: (not relocateable) Version : 0.17 Vendor: Red Hat, Inc. Release : 12 Build Date: Tue 24 Jul 2001 04:57:10 PM IST Install date: Tue 14 Jan 2003 12:22:12 PM IST Build Host: stripples.devel.redhat.com Group : System Environment/Daemons Source RPM: talk-0.17-12.src.rpm Size : 17121 License: BSD Packager : Red Hat, Inc. <http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla> Summary : The talk server for one-on-one Internet chatting. Description : The talk-server package provides daemon programs for the Internet talk protocol, which allows you to chat with other users on different machines. Talk is a communication program which copies lines from one terminal to the terminal of another user. Enable talk and ntalk services in xinetd after installing the server. Remember to firewall out UDP ports 517 and 518.
