Just to be sure: dpkg -l talkd shows the daemon being installed? kill -SIGHUP `pidof inetd` doesn't show any error in the inetd messages? The talkd entry ist still activeted? Now: you are trying talk [EMAIL PROTECTED], right, not talk from a remote host to your box? (Just to simplify things and exclude some possibilities of errors). Ciao, Martin
