talk bug fix update

Type/Severity

Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated talk packages that fix one bug are now available for Red Hat Enterprise
Linux 6.

Description

The talk utility is a communication program that copies lines from one terminal
to the terminal of another user.

This update fixes the following bug:

• The talk utility allows a user to specify the target user in the
  "username.hostname" form. Consequent to this, previous versions of the utility
  did not support usernames that contained a period. With this update, a new
  command line option (that is, "-x") has been added to enforce the use of the
  "username@hostname" form, so that the username can contain periods. As well, the
  corresponding manual page has been extended to provide a complete list of
  supported command line arguments. (BZ#691355)
  

Users of talk are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix this
bug.

Solution

Before applying this update, make sure all previously-released errata relevant
to your system have been applied.

This update is available via the Red Hat Network. Details on how to use the Red
Hat Network to apply this update are available at
