Cygwin xinetd and in.talkd

[Brandon Bergren <bdragon at mailsnare dot net>]

Hello.

I was trying to get talk working in my cygwin install using xinetd. I finally
figured out why it wasn't working.

on cygwin, the talk command tries to connect to the ntalk port, not the talk
port, as far as I can tell. (could just be my machine, tho.)

so, there should be a section in /etc/xinetd.d/talk for service ntalk.

seems to work ok for me after adding a section for ntalk.

Was this overlooked?

Thank you,
