i have the service running, and i have opened the port 517 in my firewall configuration
netstat -l shows udp 0 0 *:talk *:*
mesg y gives the error:
mesg: error: tty device is not owned by group `tty'
how do i configure the tty permissions?
The normal defaults should be fine.
By chance have you been tinkering with security settings?
Or tinkering in the /dev directory (MAKEDEV).
Note that it is possible to change the group so "mesg y" will fail but not change it back unless you are root or group tty. Example: $ chown me.me /dev/pts/4 $ chown me.tty /dev/pts/4 chown: changing ownership of `/dev/pts/4': Operation not permitted So if you mess up tty permissions they you may need to toss it and get a new pseudo terminal device.
If getting a new terminal window does not get good permissions I will have to dig and find how they are set for pseudo ttys in the first place. Perhaps someone just knows.....
