Hi, Out of curiosity (how else do you learn *nix systems?), I attempted to talk between two logins on separate Debian 2.2 machines.
I received an error message that the remote-end was refusing connects which seems contrary to the lines in /etc/default/devpts e.g. TTYGRP=5 TTYMODE=620 The comment associated with TTYMODE says change to 600 to make mesg n the default. If I execute mesg y on the remote machine I can talk to it. What am I missing here? Regards, Neil Darlow. -- 1024D/531F9048 1999-09-11 Neil Darlow <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Key fingerprint = 359D B8FF 6273 6C32 BEAA 43F9 E579 E24A 531F 9048
