I *know* this was just posted; you are perfectly justified in
flaming me along with your answer, but the post swished by me
and I cannot find the answer in a FAQ.

On some NeXT's, you type "talk," and it says,

"Go away. You don't exist."

I tried copying a binary from a working on to a non-working one, no
avail. What's the deal, and how does on fix it?

Thanks for any hints. Please ignore my affiliation.
