It just doesn't work under -current as the author has tested it and here is what he says: On SunOS 4.1.3, solaris, linux, ultrix, irix, ... my chatline program stayed at the line where select() was when nobody was logged on or when nobody was typing. It's acts in char mode telnet. On freebsd-current, it doesn't stay at select() when nobody is logged on or when nobody is typing. select line is something like select((fd_set *)readfds, (fd_set *)0, (fd_set *)0, (time_t *)0); the file descriptors for each socket is set for i/o non-blocking with fcntl() ... (can't remember the exact syntax offhand .. I'm on the fly right now) (it's something like that ... I don't do unix C programming any longer .. I'm quoting from memory ... I was forwarded this letter from somebody using my chatline code). btw, my chatline program worked "properly" on FreeBSD 2.0.5, 2.0 and previous versions 1.5.1.1 (or whatever version that novell doesn't want anybody using).
