Hi Ben,
Here's what I did on my Void Linux computer to get talk working:
* Configured xinetd to work
* Make sure xinetd has an entry for talk[1]
* As my normal user, (slitt), ssh slitt@192.168.100.2
* Started talkd
* From inside that ssh session, talk root@192.168.100.2
* At that point I receive "waiting for your party to reply"
* I go to a root terminal, and it's asking me to reply. I reply, but
using the IP address, not my hostname.
* At that point, the two can talk at their convenience.
Notice on the command line, I used the IP address, not the hostname.
Notice that what was in hostname really didn't matter. I couldn't
change /etc/hostname to fqdn because it busted a bunch of other stuff,
and I'm not good enough at nsd/unbound to get "mydesk" point to
192.168.100.2. Didn't matter, I used the IP address on the command line.
[1]: /etc/xinetd.d/talk below:
=======================================
service ntalk
{
flags = REUSE
socket_type = dgram
wait = yes
user = root
server = /usr/bin/talkd
log_on_failure += USERID
disable = no
}
============================================
