[TriLUG] talk problem

[Ralph Blach]

I need to start the talk deamon on my machine.  when I start xinetd in 
the debug mode, I get
this message

the machine is a redhat 9.0 x86 machine
Starting xinetd with the  -d option I get
Service configuration: talk
       id = talk
       flags = IPv4
       socket_type = dgram
       Protocol (name,number) = (udp,17)
       port = 517
       Groups = no
       PER_SOURCE = -1
       Bind = All addresses.
       Server = /usr/sbin/in.talkd
       Server argv = in.talkd -d
       Only from: All sites
       No access: No blocked sites
       Logging to syslog. Facility = authpriv, level = info
       Log_on_success flags = HOST PID
       Log_on_failure flags = HOST
This seems to indicate that the talk deamon started ok
my /etc/xinet.d/talk file has
# default: off
# description: The talk server accepts talk requests for chatting with 
users \
#    on other systems.
service talk
{
   flags            = IPv4
   disable            = no
   socket_type        = dgram
   protocol            = udp
   wait            = yes
   user            = nobody
   group            = tty
   server            = /usr/sbin/in.talkd
   server_args             = -d

}
and my host.allow file has
talk:127.0.0.0/255.0.0.0, 10.0.0.0/255.255.255.0, 
10.1.0.0/255.255.255.252:allow



But when I start talk I get this message
Error on read from talk daemon: Connection refused. Press any key... ]
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance
