Every time I try to use talk when under uw, I get "No entry in /etc/utmp".
When someone tries to talk to me, they are told that my messages are turned
off (which they aren't). Evidentally, UW is not properly entering the
pseudo-ttys into /etc/utmp. I've remade UW twice following the instructions in
the Makefile that apply to the /etc/utmp issue. No luck. /ets/utmp is world
read/writable at our installation.

Has anyone else experienced this problem? Does anyone know how to fix this
problem? We're running SunOS 4.0.3.
