I Am new to unix so I am learning how to use it, but i want to know how to talk to someone. I already used the man pages but i just don't get it. can you show me an example of how to talk to someone hat is logged in. thanks


You'll have to enable the talk daemon in /etc/inetd.conf like so:

$ grep ntalk /etc/inetd.conf
# ntalk is required for the 'talk' utility to work correctly
ntalk dgram udp wait tty:tty /usr/libexec/ntalkd ntalkd
$

Then, # /etc/rc.d/inetd restart

and you're ready to use the talk utility.

enable inetd in /etc/rc.conf with the line:
inetd_enable="YES"
so that upon every reboot inetd will be run.

Best regards.
