Summary
The remote host is running a 'talkd' daemon. talkd is the server that notifies a user that someone else wants to initiate a conversation with him.
Solution
Solution
Disable talkd access from the network by adding the appropriate rule on your firewall. If you do not need talkd, comment out the relevant line in /etc/inetd.conf and restart the inetd process.
