1. chat A program which allows one to flood another Unix

user's terminal with garbage, through exploiting a common

security hole in the victim's host's talk daemon. Users

with "messages off" (mesg n) and users on systems running

fixed talk daemons, or not running talk daemons at all, are

immune.
