The 'talk' package contains the client program for the
Internet talk protocol, which allows the user to chat with other users on
different systems. Talk is a communication program which copies lines from one
terminal to the terminal of another user.
Parameter:
[no/yes]
Technical Mechanism:
The talk software presents a security risk as it uses unencrypted protocols
for communications. Removing the 'talk' package decreases the
risk of the accidental (or intentional) activation of talk client program.
