I've successfully configured my firewall except now I'd like to allow talk
sessions to and from my computer but all I've done so far has failed.
I've added rules to allow all my other services but talk is still giving
me grief. I know that talkd uses port 517 but even after I've allowed udp
through this port I get the following errors. My current firewall option
is set to 'client'.
>From a remote computer trying to connect to my computer talk will connect
but sits at:
[Checking for invitation on caller's machine]
While on my computer trying to connect to a remote computer I get:
[Error on write to talk daemon : Permission denied (13)]
Now when I open up my firewall (firewall_type="open" in rc.conf) talk
works perfectly. The rules I added to try to allow talk to work were:
ipfw add 03310 pass udp from any to 205.150.35.145 517
ipfw add 03410 pass udp from 205.150.35.145 to any 517
Where am I going wrong?
