Hello everyone.

	I wonder if some kind soul out there who  has talk working 
	on his/her NetBSD-0.9 machine would be good enough as to 
	mail me a little information on configuring /etc/hosts, 
	/etc/resolv.conf, /etc/myname, and any other relevant files.

	Please. Oh, please....

	See, the problem is, when I go to talk to someone else on the
	machine, I get "talk: chicken: Unknown host", where chicken is 
	the name of my machine..

	Also, is there anything else special that I need to do to get it
	working?

	Thanks in advance for any help anyone can give me on this one...

Cheers, Colin.
