   Talk session via Telnet

   Hi there!   
      
   I'm trying to set up my inetd in such a way so that if a user telnets to a   
   certain port, a talk session is automatically initiated. No luck so far :(   
   Here's a little extract:   
      
   [inetd.conf]   
   ptalk stream tcp nowait nobody /usr/sbin/tcpd /usr/bin/talk peter   
      
   A telnet session to the port only greets me with:   
      
   Trying 127.0.0.1...   
   Connected to 127.0.0.1.   
   Escape character is '^]'.   
   Standard input must be a tty, not a pipe or a file   
   Connection closed by foreign host.   
      
   Any hints highly appreciated :)   
      
      
   Regards   
      
   Peter
