If the entry is ok in /etc/inetd.conf talk dgram udp wait root /usr/sbin/tcpd in.talkd and possably; ntalk dgram udp wait root /usr/sbin/tcpd in.talkd Then the chances are you dont have a route to the host to whom you wish to "talk" to. Or you have a DNS problem, no mapping of hostnames to ipaddresses. (99) is the error message number, i used to have a list of error numbers, but i have misplaced it and cannot seem to find it, or the URL where i got it from in the first place, if anyone knows an URL for different program error codes please let me know. > > -- > Masood Ali Chaudry ___ ___ _ _ ___ > SDNP-UNDP, Islamabad, Pakistan. / __) | \ | \| | | o \ > [EMAIL PROTECTED] \__ \ | o ) | | | _/ > Phone 270691,270684 Fax. +92-51-270688 (___/ |___/ |_|\_| |_| > > -- Regards Richard.
