Hi all, I recently found out that neither talk nor identd were working and after reloading inetd the following errors appeared in syslog.
inetd[9663]: ntalk/udp: unknown service inetd[9663]: ident/tcp: unknown service Now, I purged and reinstalled pidentd and talkd but no change. In inetd.conf the relevant lines look like: talk dgram udp wait nobody.tty /usr/sbin/tcpd /usr/sbin/in.talkd ntalk dgram udp wait nobody.tty /usr/sbin/tcpd /usr/sbin/in.ntalkd ident stream tcp wait identd /usr/sbin/identd identd And these are written in /etc/services too. I checked these with a working sparc potato installation and an i386 woody installation. I found no differences... Suspecting a corrupt inetd I compiled netbase and reinstalled. No change... I'm a bit lost as to where to look from now. Any pointers ? TIA -- H.Servomaa
