ktalkd in slackware 13


Hi everybody.
I have a question about ktalkd.
As stated in /etc/inetd.conf, to make talk daemon working
under kde i need to uncomment the following lines for it to work:
#talk dgram udp wait root /usr/sbin/tcpd /usr/bin/kotalkd
#ntalk dgram udp wait root /usr/sbin/tcpd /usr/bin/ktalkd

i tried to do so but it didn't work. So i checked, and found that neither
kotalkd nor ktalkd exist in /usr/sbin.
I even downloaded kdenetwork package from slackware-current,
but it doesn't include ktalkd either.
The slackware i'm using is 13.0 32 bit.
It looks like ktalkd was removed from kde, but inetd.conf wasn't changed
to reflect that fact.
Could anyone help me with that please?

There is no ktalkd in KDE4 (which ships with Slackware 13.0), you will need KDE3 for that.

The inetd package is KDE-agnostic. It only provides a configuration file which allows you to start services if the corresponding binaries are available on your computer. There is no reason why the inetd.conf file should have to be updated when one of the services goes missing. Who can tell if you might install that service from another source?

If you want ktalkd, you will have to remove KDE4 and instead, install KDE 3.5.10 for Slackware 13.0.

Hi,
That doesn't sound like a best solution, but then i guess it's KDE problem,
not slackware's. Thanks anyway. I'll try to lurk on KDE-related forums.
By the way, do you think it's worth to try installing only kde-network package from KDE 3.5 on my existing KDE 4 and check if it works?
