Nope, doesn't run even manually:
2:00am html/Eword/Live#/usr/sbin/in.talkd
Socket operation on non-socketExit 1
2:00am html/Eword/Live#/usr/sbin/in.ntalkd
Socket operation on non-socketExit 1
strace:
getsockname(0, 0x7ffcb85f1820, [16]) = -1 ENOTSOCK (Socket operation
on non-socket)
write(2, "Socket operation on non-socket", 30Socketoperation on non-socket) = 30
exit_group(1) = ?
+++ exited with 1 +++
From the man page there really are no options. -d debugging doesn't
give me any further info.
Looks like something is really busted in the way it listens on its
socket. I checked and talk's usual 2 ports (whether "n" or not) aren't
taken.
I was just wondering if maybe there was some weird config file or
undocumented command line option I'm missing that someone knows about.
It is a strangely optionless daemon.
Tim: I forgot to mention, I don't even need inter-machine support... I
just want to run talk on one box between 2 people logged in to that 1
box.
But I do want something that has the nice split window paradigm that
talk uses.
