Oh yeah an nmap -sU myhost reveals:
(The 1470 ports scanned but not shown below are in state: closed)
PORT STATE SERVICE
68/udp open dhcpclient
111/udp open rpcbind
123/udp open ntp
137/udp open netbios-ns
138/udp open netbios-dgm
518/udp open ntalk
784/udp open unknown
32768/udp open omad
Nmap run completed -- 1 IP address (1 host up) scanned in 6.897 seconds
As suspected nothing blocks port 518/udp :-/
Any other idea of how to get that %@^&^ talk program to run properly? :-)
With kind regards,
Didier.
