Where's the vulnerability if I only want to chat with another person?
I don't think I'll be using some secret information. If somebody will
read my messages (if any, in this awful windows surrounding full of
beautiful blonde girls running they window$ laptops) I don't care. I
won't use any passwords. I don't need them to connect, do I? What
program should I use instead?

I installed talk-server and xinetd (yum did it for dependences). Now
what? 'service talk start'
talk: tuntematon palvelu (unknown service) How to start it? How can I
set it up to be started by xinetd?
