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. -- John Wren, jcwren@jcwren.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
