neither ytalk nor talk appear to be working and i am getting the
following errors

from talk :
[Couldn't bind to control socket : Can't assign requested address (49)]

this is from my inetd.conf:
ntalk dgram udp wait nobody.tty /usr/libexec/ntalkd ntalkd -ld
talk  dgram udp wait nobody.tty /usr/libexec/talkd  talkd

any ideas ?
