I run both Jaguar and Panther. In Jaguar, in /etc/inetd.conf, #ntalk dgram udp wait root /usr/libexec/tcpd ntalkd On my Panther system, xinetd is set to run in compat mode, so this line is in inetd.conf in both places. You can find out what you're running and in what mode with something like ps auxww | grep inetd and examining the output. Make sure you throw a SIGHUP at (x)inetd when you're done. -- ---------------------------------- personal: http://www.armory.com/~spectre/ -- Cameron Kaiser, Floodgap Systems Ltd * So.
