ToolTalk

Hi everyone.
I keep getting the following error message in the syslog file off B2600 B180 Boxes ...both running 10.20 OS.

The result being it occassionally kills the Xserver.

"ttdt_Xt_input_handler(): tttk_message_receive(): TT_ERR_NOMP^INo ttsession process is running, probably because tt_open() has not been called yet. If this code is returned from tt_open() it means ttsession could not be started, which generally means ToolTal is not installed on this system"

Has anyone anecountered this problem before ??
Do I require a Patch ??

Many Thanks in advance

If you don't need it, comment it out of the inetd.conf file. ToolTalk has been found to be vulnerable to bugger overflows so it has some security flaws.

Good Luck,
