Description Jón Fairbairn 2006-03-04 18:52:11 UTC 
Description of problem:
"talk user" always says "Your party is not logged on" even if it's myself

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
talk-server-0.17-29

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.install talk-server
2.chkconfig ntalk on
3.service xinetd [re]start
4.talk <someone> 

Actual results:
talk says "Your party is not logged on" + suggestive looking entries in
/var/log/audit/audit.log (see attached extract)


Expected results:
should start talking if the user is logged on

Additional info:
starting xinetd from the console (without using /sbin/service) makes it work
(but presumably circumvents selinux)
