hi, i'm having the strangest problem with talk. when i do a "talk <user>" on my freebsd 4.2 box, the recipient never sees a talk request from the talk daemon. messages are turned on because i can do a write just fine. damon@chiba ~> uname -a FreeBSD chiba.3jane.net 4.2-STABLE FreeBSD 4.2-STABLE #0: Sun Dec 10 00:21:11 GMT 2000 root@:/usr/src/sys/compile/chiba i386 damon@chiba ~> grep talk /etc/inetd.conf ntalk dgram udp wait tty:tty /usr/libexec/ntalkd ntalkd when i do a talk all i get are repeated messages that say this: [Checking for invitation on caller's machine] but the term of the user i'm trying to talk doesn't recieve a talk request. i can provide a copy of my kernel config if that'll help. any clues are greatly appreciated. damon To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
