I remember someone awhile back posting on how to do this, but it seems that no one has ever gotten it to work. I want to use it to talk between NeXT's and to other systems on the same net. Thanks!

Best guesses: 1) you tried running talk under script 2) some idiot removed Terminal's set-uid bit -=EPS=-

Just as a wild guess, it might have something to do with not finding your name in the /etc/passwd file (if your system is running netinfo). You might have to modify the code so that it does get information from netinfo. -- Peter Murray pm8moper@miamiu.acs.muohio.edu 205 Hepburn Hall pm8moper@miamiu.bitnet Miami University pemurray@miavx1.bitnet 513/529-4944 murrayp@apsvax.aps.muohio.edu Close. You (and your tty) are not in the /etc/utmp file. Scott Draves Space...
