This is talk in view mode; [Up]
Date: Sun 26-Jan-1989 17:24:53 From: Unknown Subject: talk Maybe this is old news, but the binaries for talk and talkd that come with the .8 release hang the system. I found some source destined for suns, compiled it with only minor problems (including the fact that getlogin() doesn't work on Terminal windows), and it works nicely. The virgin 4.3 sources hang the machine as well; maybe it's a byteorder problem, but don't quote me. The moral of the story is to remove /etc/talk and /etc/talkd RIGHT NOW unless you want your machine to hang... Steve >From: tytso@athena.mit.edu (Theodore Y. Ts'o)

Su to root. 1b. cp /usr/etc/talkd /usr/etc/ntalkd Fix 2: 2a. su to root 2b. Edit /private/etc/inetd.conf 2c. Change the following line from ntalk dgram udp wait root /usr/etc/ntalkd ntalkd to ntalk dgram udp wait root /usr/etc/talkd ntalkd Hope this helps. morris meyer (mmeyer@next.com) software engineer NeXT OS Group
