From my PC I can connect my i486 based AT&T UNIX SVR4 server with X11R4 
in several ways.
One way is with PC/TCP and another is via a X-terminal emulator.
When I try to 'talk person' in X I get a message saying something like
'Who are you ... No entry in /var/adm/utmp'. If I from this window do a
login first I can do 'talk person' without problems.
On other machines running X which I connect with rlogin it also works allright.
From PC/TCP rloginvt it also works fine.
I have tried with '+ut' as an option to xterm without success.
I think something can be done with xdm, but I cannot figure out what.
Can anybody give a hint, please?

I am also intrested in sources for Xtalk. Are there shareware, freeware or
somethingware available? In that case were can I obtain them, and will they
give me the same problem?

Thanxvance Michael
