talk dgram udp wait root /usr/sbin/tcpd /usr/sbin/in.talkd ntalk dgram udp wait root /usr/sbin/tcpd /usr/sbin/in.talkd Make sure these two lines are uncommented, then kill -HUP inetd (i think that's it, or just do a ps -aux, get the process number for /usr/sbin/inetd and do a kill -HUP ##) Good Luck.
