I'm having problems getting the "talk" function running.
I successfully installed talk and talk-server with
yum install talk*
I tried to use the talk and got an "Error on read talk daemon"
Thus I tried to start the talk daemon by going to /usr/sbin and ./in.talkd only to recieve
Socket operation on non-socket
To summarize my issue is:
1. talk says I need a daemon
2. daemon says "Socket operation on non-socket"

did you do yum install talk?
or yum install talk-server?
I used to have talk server installed, but removed it. I'm pretty sure I used yum install talk-server
Make sure it is running too.

I did yum install talk* which installed both talk and talk-server
my problem is getting it running

hmm...I can't get it to work now.
mine displays the message: [Checking for invitation on caller's machine]
and does nothing.
I did yum install talk and then yum install talk-server because it didn't install talk-server the first time :S
It does say in the services list 'xinetd is required for this service.'
Do you have that installed?
