[1] summary:
ytalk does not work.
[2] full description:
ytalk hangs at the "Waiting for connection..." stage (on both clients).
to end the session, you have to suspend (^Z) and then `kill -9` the
process.
[3] versions:
Mandrake 6.0 (Venus)
ytalk 3.1-3
ytalk 3.1.1 [same result; went back to 3.1-3 rpm for support reasons]
[4] /etc/inetd.conf:
talk dgram udp wait root /usr/sbin/tcpd in.talkd
ntalk dgram udp wait root /usr/sbin/tcpd in.ntalkd
dtalk stream tcp wait nobody /usr/sbin/tcpd in.dtalkd
# enabled dtalk just for good measure
[5] /etc/services:
talk 517/udp
ntalk 518/udp
[6] other info:
we primarily need ytalk to work on the localhost; ytalk with a
remote host hardly ever happens (i'm speaking past tense here about our
prior setup with RH5.2).
/usr/local/etc/ytalkrc is in place
can you reproduce this problem on your box(es)? it's almost imperative
that we get this working. any help would be greatly appreciated. TIA
