[TriLUG] RH 7.1 weirdness

[lug at localhost.localdomain]

You need the talk server RPM.  Pick up a copy off the CD, or your nearest 
RedHat mirror.  

The actual talk daemons are at - /usr/sbin/in.ntalkd and 
/usr/sbin/in.talkd once installed.  You might also want to read up on 
xinetd because the talk daemon is spawned by it.

You could check your system out quickly to see if the talk server is 
installed by running -

rpm -qa|grep talk-ser

...and it should find talk-server if it's installed.

HTH.

...Mad
