The original poster maybe didn't know this, or had, and It still doesn't work. I was going to suggest he checked that he had talkd installed. Anyway, it is `mesg y`. I've had the same problem. I'll be at work, have the tty open on that one, ssh home, open that telnet and try to talk from one to the other. From either side, nothing happens. :/ -- Steve C.

Re: I can't use talk.
Ah - did you install the talkd package? without it you will be lacking the talk daemon (note that this is separate from the talk and ytalk packages) Matthew Matthew : In HAMM don't exist any package called talk nor talkd. In BO exist, I will install that. Hernán. Hernán J Cervantes Rodríguez Instituto de Física da USP e-mail : [EMAIL PROTECTED] homepage : http://fge.if.usp.br/~hernan/

Debian boxes can talk to debian boxes. But, I think the daemon has changed and the problem is that not everyone uses the same version of the talk daemon.

Dear Sir : I have installed the hamm distribution without problems, apparently. The system is working well. My problems is with the talk daemon. All other services (telnetd, ftpd, ) are working but when I do a talk from other unix box I can connect. Any clue? the portmap and inetd.conf are right. Thank in advance.
