I have enabled ntalkd in inetd.conf and of course, enabled inetd as well. I login as root and run /usr/libexec/ntalkd and it reported something like "...socket on non-socket". Since I have done some modification to the system afterwards as an attempt to ressolve the problem, I messed up the machine and can not remember the exact report. But it is something to do with socket. What can I do? Regards, AJ Davidson To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
