Hello,
I have used ytalk on my box for a few months.
When I tried to use it today, I get this error message

when I try to use talk locally, i get this message
[Couldn't bind to control socket : Can't assign requested address (49)]

this is the version of ytalk: ytalk-3.1.1nb1
I am running Netbsd 1.6.1 i386
in inetd.conf, i have
ntalk           dgram   udp     wait    nobody:tty      /usr/libexec/ntalkd     ntalkd

Does anyone have any ideas what is causing this and how to fix it?
thanks
Indira Chatterjee
