problems with using talk command
using talk option i tried to send message to my team mate.

for connecting to one unix box, we are having a common userid and password
except that, the ip addresses will change
for me it is x.x.x.4, for my colleague it is x.x.x.3


These are the steps i did

> who
<userid> pts/2 x.x.x.3
<userid> pts/3 x.x.x.4

I was using the ip x.x.x.4

I entered the below command


talk <userid>@x.x.x.3

The screen got divided into two and I got a message like this

[no connection yet]

then in few seconds i got a message like this

[checking for invitation on caller's machine]

i logged into my teammate's machine

but i couldnot find the message which i sent

can any one tell what is the problem in this

what i am missing, i am not sure

thanks in advance

If you talk other people have to install talk-server
maybe this is not load in your system
firstly you set a server as talk server..

Code:
# rpm -qa | grep talk
talk-server-0.17-29.2.2  --is needed for talks ;)
talk-0.17-29.2.2

Code:
rpm -ivh /root/talk-server-0.17-29.2.2.x86_64.rpm
Preparing...                ########################################### [100%]
   1:talk-server            ########################################### [100%]

Then
Code:
vi /etc/xinetd.d/ntalk
disable=no

Code:
vi /etc/xinetd.d/ntalk
disable=no

Servis restart for conf changes

Code:
/etc/init.d/xinetd restart

Code:
root@XXXXX1lnx ~]# w
 17:52:52 up 77 days,  6:55,  2 users,  load average: 0.00, 0.00, 0.00
USER     TTY      FROM              LOGIN@   IDLE   JCPU   PCPU WHAT
root     pts/0    10.100.23.57     17:49    0.00s  0.18s  0.01s w
yucell   pts/3    10.100.23.57     17:29    2:11   0.11s  0.11s -bash

From pts/0
Code:
talk yucell

Screen appear like this
Code:
Message from Talk_Daemon@XXXXX1lnx at 17:56 ...
talk: connection requested by root@XXXXX1lnx 
talk: respond with:  talk root@XXXXX1lnx

And then I respond this call Smilie

From pts/3
Code:
talk root

Code:
 
[Connection established]

Anyway you can talk togehter ..Smilie
