[comp.sys.encore] Remote name service and talk

cheever@sumax.UUCP (Richard L. Cheever) (07/28/90)

  We recently connected our Multimax 510, running UMAX 4.3 to Internet.
In order to get up quickly, we are getting remote name service from else
where on the net.  The /etc/resolv.conf looks like this:

		nameserver 128.95.112.1
		nameserver 128.95.120.1
		domain	seattleu.edu

  When the resolv.conf file is installed, talk and phone stop working.
Phone hangs and talk gives the following message:

  [Couldn't bind to control socket : Can't assign requested address (49)]

  The /etc/services has the appropriate lines for talk, ntalk, and phone:

	 talk		517/udp
	 ntalk		518/udp
	 phone		1167/udp		# phone - conference calling

  The /etc/inetd.conf file also has the appropriate lines:

talk	dgram	udp	wait	root	/usr/etc/in.talkd	in.talkd
ntalk	dgram	udp	wait	root	/usr/etc/in.ntalkd	in.ntalkd
phone 	dgram	udp	wait	root	/usr/local/etc/phoned	phoned

On talk:

  We only have talk and talkd source from BSD.  I checked and didn't see
and compilation flags.  If I try to start the talkd by hand, it generates
a Socket operation on a non socket error, infinite loop.

On phone:

  I changed the compilation flags on phone and recompiled it.  I added the 
line to the /etc/inted and sent a HUP signal to inetd.  When I run it in 
debug mode it looks as though the inetd isn't responding to socket connect
on port 1167.  Hence no phoned starts up. 

Thanks for any ideas on this.

 if it were so, it would be; but as it isn't, it ain't. That's logic!"
