OK, I removed the old talkd package that was not working under 32-bit server with 'sudo apt-get purge talkd'. Then I used the new patch, recompiled and installed. After install, I restarted the inetd. It still does not work, although now I get a new error: [Your party is not logged on] and a fe

The effect is that the talk client will not be able to connect to talkd without these changes.

Talkd does not seem to use the proper settings in inetd.conf. I believe it should use 'udp4' rather than 'udp'. Changing this and adding the 'nobody' to the tty group seems to fix the permissions issues. This is for talkd 0.17-13 on Ubuntu 9.04 (I also experience the same issues before upgrading to
