- This version of the BSD talkd suppresses VT100 (flash) bombs. The user
- being bombed won't even see it. Warning messages will be written to the
- syslog telling who the bomb was directed at and the host address specified
- in the talk packet. Since this can be faked, it is labelled 'apparently
- from'. You can match the PID of the talkd with the PID of the entry made
- by tcpd to get the real hostname.
-
- To compile under Linux just type 'make'. To install, copy the in.talkd that
- is created over /usr/sbin/in.talkd (or whatever is normally invoked by your
- inetd).
