Message-ID: <1994Jan14.183346.26203@sifon.cc.mcgill.ca> Sender: news@sifon.cc.mcgill.ca Organization: SOCS, McGill University, Montreal, Canada Date: Fri, 14 Jan 1994 18:33:46 GMT Lines: 27 Hello everyone. I wonder if some kind soul out there who has talk working on his/her NetBSD-0.9 machine would be good enough as to mail me a little information on configuring /etc/hosts, /etc/resolv.conf, /etc/myname, and any other relevant files. Please. Oh, please.... See, the problem is, when I go to talk to someone else on the machine, I get "talk: chicken: Unknown host", where chicken is the name of my machine.. Also, is there anything else special that I need to do to get it working? Thanks in advance for any help anyone can give me on this one... Cheers, Colin. -- Colin Bradley fox@binkley.cs.mcgill.ca Proponent of NetBSD, XFree86. Ain'tcha glad ya'ain't no duck?
