I got these messages while trying to connect to someone via YTALK. They were on the local network with messages on. They couldn't connect back to me, and this was the garbage in the syslogs. I believe they were using a vanilla redhat 5.2. The logs are from my machine (vanilla redhat 6.0) ==> /var/log/messages <== May 7 16:48:33 dhcp78 talkd[6198]: dhcp78.cybersites.com (207.92.123.78): unintelligible packet ==> /var/log/secure <== May 7 16:48:33 dhcp78 in.talkd[6198]: connect from 207.92.123.78 ==> /var/log/messages <== May 7 16:48:35 dhcp78 talkd[6198]: dhcp78.cybersites.com (207.92.123.78): bad protocol version 0 May 7 16:49:10 dhcp78 last message repeated 7 times May 7 16:49:20 dhcp78 last message repeated 2 times May 7 16:49:22 dhcp78 talkd[6198]: dhcp78.cybersites.com (207.92.123.78): bad protocol version 2 May 7 16:49:43 dhcp78 last message repeated 5 times May 7 16:49:48 dhcp78 inetd[377]: /usr/sbin/tcpd: exit signal 0xb May 7 16:49:48 dhcp78 talkd[6198]: dhcp78.cybersites.com (207.92.123.78): unintelligible packet May 7 16:49:50 dhcp78 talkd[6198]: dhcp78.cybersites.com (207.92.123.78): bad protocol version 0 May 7 16:50:15 dhcp78 last message repeated 5 times May 7 16:50:19 dhcp78 talkd[6198]: dhcp78.cybersites.com (207.92.123.78): bad protocol version 2
This is really an annoying problem. Can we have a status update? I just tried it on another redhat 6.0 box with the same problem. I had to kill the process because the xterm froze. TALK works, however. ------- Email Received From Jeff Johnson <jbj> 05/29/99 13:24 -------
