[comp.sources.wanted] talk/talkd for HP-UX 7.0

david@monymsys.uucp (David Kozinn) (10/03/90)

Is there a version of talk/talkd that will run on an HP 9000/815 running 
HP-UX 7.0? I tried the "berkley" version from uunet, but I keep running 
into problems getting it compiled. There are several unknown
#defines (such as TIOCNOTTY), and I'm enough of a novice at this
that I'm unfamiliar with what's missing and I can't come up with
suitable replacements (assuming they exist at all). 

Thanks in advance,
  David

You can retrieve these from me10.lbl.gov via anonymous ftp.  Versions of
talk/talkd for both the series 800 and series 300 machines are available.

-r--r--r--   1 root     other     129937 Oct  3 14:42 hp-ux/talk_7.0_300.tar.Z
-r--r--r--   1 root     other     203855 Oct  3 14:41 hp-ux/talk_7.0_800.tar.Z

The readme file says:

Note that this is the BSD 4.3 version of talk which uses the "ntalk"
service.  You should have the following entry in /etc/services:

ntalk           518/udp         talk

It is not compatible with the older talk (which used port 517).

The /etc/inetd.conf entry should be like this:

ntalk   dgram  udp wait   root  /usr/local/etc/talkd    talkd

You may substitute /usr/local/etc/talkd with a path of your choice.

I got a number of replies, which I've summarized below. One interesting point
that I found out was that these implementation now use the "ntalk" protocol
socket (518) instead of the older talk socket (517).
