- Erm, i'm having a few problems getting talk to work on my
- 0.98pl1 system...(SCSI = no, TCP = yes (!))
- configured for loopback only
-
- I've now got talk to get as far as "Checking for invitation on caller's
- machine", whereupon it just sits there for ages (I've run out of patience to
- see if eventually does anything)
-
- Anyone got any ideas ?
- inted.conf and services are both ok as far as i know :
- /usr/etc/inetd.conf (also in /usr/etc/inet/inetd.conf):
- talk dgram udp wait root /usr/etc/inet/talkd talkd
-
- /usr/etc/services (also in ...)
- talk 517/udp
-
-
- Ta heaps in advance...
- Cos !
