Hi, So you have users *on* the beowulf cluster that want to talk to other internal users outside of the clusters firewall? No, my problem was that I couldn't use talk _on_ the firewall. Not through it, just both users on the same host, and talk to each other- this would be the first step.

Surprise XFree feature

Hey all, I just discovered a feature that XFree has, totally by accident. At least, it's configured this way on RedHat. If you hit Shift-Insert, it will insert the primary selection buffer at the current cursor location. Cool! :) Now I don't have to struggle with a two-button mouse
