Name
       ntalkd - remote user communication server

Syntax
       /etc/ntalkd

Description
       The command is the server that notifies a user that somebody else wants
       to initiate a conversation.  It acts as a  repository  of  invitations,
       responding  to  requests by clients wishing to meet to hold a conversa‐
       tion.  In normal operation, a client  (the  caller)  initiates  a  ren‐
       dezvous	by sending a CTL_MSG to the server of type LOOK_UP.  (For fur‐
       ther information, see This causes the server to search  its  invitation
       tables  to  check  if  an invitation currently exists for the caller to
       speak to the client specified in the message.  If the lookup fails, the
       caller  then  sends an ANNOUNCE message causing the server to broadcast
       an announcement on the client's login ports requesting  contact.	  When
       the  client  responds, the local server uses the recorded invitation to
       respond with the appropriate meeting address and the  programs  of  the
       caller and client he called establish a stream connection through which
       the conversation takes place.
