Download Gtalk/UNIX
This should compile out of the box on a Linux system. I apologize that
there isn't very much documentation of how to install it. If you have
trouble figuring out what to do let me know.
Install
If it compiles correctly, you should get a 'gtalk' executable in the
Targets directory. Before you can run this executable, you need to run
System/usermk/usermk to create the blank user and class data files. These
files should be located in the current directory where you launch the
'gtalk' executable. That executable is a daemon, so it will immediately go
into the background and return you to your prompt. Then you should be able
to switch to one of the high numbered virtual consoles and get the server
login prompt. (or telnet to your machine at port 4000) Then you need to
create an account on your UNIX machine with the login name "gtsys". You
can use useradd, adduser, or just edit your /etc/passwd file depending on
your Linux installation. Set the password for this account. Then go back
to the Gtalk login screen. You shoulud be able to login with account #0,
and the password should be whatever you set for the UNIX gtsys user.
If you download this and compile it, drop me a note at "jeske@chat.net"
