Hi i386'ers,

I don't currently run NetBSD on an x86 machine, but I have it running on an
alpha & have had it on my mac68k. I got a buddy of mine to install it on
his k6-2 box, & we just tried to use "talk". First, I logged onto his
machine & noticed that there was no entry for talk in inetd.conf, so I
added it from my alpha:

talk dgram udp wait nobody.tty /usr/bin/talk talk

where the spaces were tabs (although any whitespace should be fine). After
that, I talked my login on his box from my box, & it went through just
fine. But any time we'd try to talk with it orginating on his box, we'd get
this:

[Target machine does not recognize us]


Is that why talk wasn't in the default i386 inetd.conf? Is it somehow
broken just on that port? Would it help for me to have him install ytalk?


Oh, yeah, I also checked his /var/log/messages & saw:

Any clues greatly appreciated.

lso, please cc: me since I'm not on port-i386 list.

Thanks a lot,
