I am am working with a Sun-386i which is operating Sunos 4.0, is not being
used as a diskless server, and has YP disabled. I am netted to the
ethernet which has a number of different machines hanging off of it.

My problem is that when another user tries to talk to me....  I am
informed of the request, however, upon my responding "talk user@xyz" I am
told by the Sun "you dont exist....go away". Interesting to note that when
I type "who" ....the system shows me at the console but does not seem to
be aware of any additional processes that I may have open......Any help
would be appreciated.....
