That's why it's not "working".  Uncomment the ntalkd line in
/etc/inetd.conf, kill and restart inetd. If you're using 3.2-RELEASE,
you really do need to kill and restart inetd -- don't just HUP it.

Also, if you're using something more recent than 3.2-RELEASE, you may be
wrapping ntalkd out.

Ciao,
Sheldon.
