Both of them do understand ntalk protocol. However, suns have their ntalk/talk
ports switched as opposed to linux. Your /etc/services file should containt th
e
following lines:
talk 517/udp
ntalk 518/udp
On suns, talk would be port 518 and ntalk is 517. The solution is to fix this
problem on one of the ends.
