Enable the command-line talk program
Authored by: cryptlib on Apr 15, '04 06:02:09PM

To enable talk, I just uncommented "ntalk" from /etc/inetd.conf, and perhaps rebooted or sent something a hangup signal. I'm not so worried about the security of doing this, 'cause I have a little Netgear natbox/firewall preventing anyone from connecting to the talk port from outside my home network, and I trust my honey to use Ssh responsibly.
