I have a non-networked NeXT cube running 2.0 and a PC hanging off of one
of the serial ports.  If I have my roomate log in on the PC and I try to
talk(1) to him, I get the following:
	
	You don't exist. Go away.

Now, that's not very nice *or* informative.  Does anyone know where this
message is coming from?  I don't even know where to begin.  I get the
same thing even when I try talk(1) from root.  Surely the system knows
about root...

Thanks,
Ralph
