Subject:   ntalkd not running

next in thread | raw e-mail | index | archive | help

	I have installed 4.3 using the high security option, which does not install
inetd.conf.  I'm trying to provide 'talk' services for my users, but the
/usr/libexec/ntalkd daemon is never starting.  When I do start it, it runs
for a few seconds, and exits.  During the time that it's running, 'talk'
still doesn't generate notifications.

	I'm a fairly new to FreeBSD (long time RH user, saw the light!), so please
consider that I have a fairly low knowledge base.

	I would prefer not to run inetd.conf, and I would like the talk services
bound only to localhost.  Users don't need to be reached from remote
machines.

	Any thoughts or advice greatly appreciated.
