Can't get talk to work



Hi,

Ik tried to enable my tcpd to allow 'talk' to my system from ALL, but
can't get it to work. These are my /etc/hosts.deny and /etc/hosts.allow:

# /etc/hosts.deny: list of hosts that are _not_ allowed to access the
system.
#                  See hosts_access(5) and /usr/doc/net/portmapper.txt
#
# Example:    ALL: some.host.name, .some.domain
#             ALL EXCEPT in.fingerd: other.host.name, .other.domain
#
# The PARANOID wildcard matches any host whose name does not match its
# address.

ALL: ALL

# /etc/hosts.allow: list of hosts that are allowed to access the system.
See
#                   hosts_access(5) and /usr/doc/net/portmapper.txt
#
# Example:    ALL: LOCAL @some_netgroup
#             ALL: .foobar.edu EXCEPT terminalserver.foobar.edu
#

ALL:    192.168.1.2
ALL:    192.168.1.1
ALL:    127.0.0.1
wu-ftpd: ALL
in.ntalkd: ALL
in.talkd: ALL
talkd: ALL 

192.168.1.1 is me (I'm a 'masquerading-server', so this is actually not
the address you see from the outside world). Leaving out 'in.ntalkd: ALL'
gives me 'Sep  6 12:48:03 taylor in.ntalkd[647]: refused connect from
192.168.1.2' messages from syslog. Enabling it again gives me 'Sep  6
12:48:27 taylor talkd[649]: recv: Connection refused'. And I keep getting
this last message, even if I put 'in.talkd: ALL' and 'talkd: ALL' in
hosts.allow.

This is with netstd 2.12-1

Anybody got a clue?

Maarten
