Hi, Being the computer-ridden person I am, I tried to use the solaris8 "talk" command to contact someone with 10 terminals open (probably dtterms). Nothing happened (no the person doesn't hate me), so I did a few experiments. First, I tried to identify the terminals that I had, corresponding to the xterms opened on my vnc desktop. As far as the "who" command was concerned, my xterms didn't exist. I couldn't even get one xterm to talk to another one, even after I found their terminal IDs using "who -m". I just got the complaint that such a terminal/user wasn't logged on. I used both /dev/pts/xxx as well as pts/xxx syntax.
So what gives? How come those terminals "don't exist"? The only terminal that apparently registers with the "who" command is the ssh session that I use to establish the tunnel for VNC. I'm using TightVNC 1.2.2, but I don't think that's the cause.
