Hi Matt,

Yeah, finger and w and who all work okay.  My inetd.conf is the one that
was installed w/ 3.1 (diff'ed it wrt/ the one in /usr/src/etc).  And yes
ntalkd is uncommented in inetd.conf. :-)  

The only difference I see between my 2.2.8 and 3.1 inetd.conf in the talk
lines is the new one uses tty:tty and the old one used root:

new (3.1)
ntalk dgram   udp     wait    tty:tty /usr/libexec/ntalkd     ntalkd

old (2.2.8)
ntalk dgram   udp     wait    root    /usr/libexec/ntalkd     ntalkd

and I didn't think that would make a difference but....

Brett
