In order to compile and install KTalkd on your system, type the following in the base folder of the KTalkd distribution:
%
./configure
%
make
%
make
install
As KTalkd is a daemon, make
will require install
root
privileges.
Don't forget to update /etc/inetd.conf
. For
example, on a Linux® system, if KDE is in /opt/kde
, change the lines concerning
talk and ntalk to:
talk dgram udp wait root /usr/sbin/tcpd /opt/kde/bin/ktalkd ntalk dgram udp wait root /usr/sbin/tcpd /opt/kde/bin/ktalkd
A script is provided, to make the necessary change automatically.
Update your inetd.conf
file just by running
%
./post-install.sh
Anyway, you'll have to restart inetd after this. On most Linux® systems, do:
%
killall
-HUP inetd
On newer systems, using xinetd, there is no more
/etc/inetd.conf
, and you should edit or create
/etc/xinetd.d/talk
instead, with those lines:
service talk { socket_type = dgram wait = yes user = root server = /usr/bin/ktalkd } service ntalk { socket_type = dgram wait = yes user = root server = /usr/bin/ktalkd }
then restart xinetd.
Please inform me of any modification you had to undertake in order to get KTalkd to compile or work on your platform.
