inetutils-1.6-2 in [core]

From: http://www.archlinux.org/news/429/

To replace several orphaned netkit packages that were unmaintained
upstream, we just added inetutils-1.6-2 in the [core] repo. This new
package will provide the following network clients/daemons:
ftp/ftpd
rexec/rexecd
rlogin/rlogind
rsh/rshd
talk/talkd
telnet/telnetd
rcp.

It will be replacing the following packages:
core/netkit-telnet
extra/netkit-ftp
extra/netkit-rsh

On a related note, netkit-tftp will be remove from the repo in favor
of tftp-hpa. The inetutils tools can also profide a tftp
client/server. It's currently not included in the inetutils package but
we could provide them in a separate package if there is sufficient
demand for it. Please update your settings/configs accordingly.

Re: inetutils-1.6-2 in [core]

talkd depends on xinetd, but this isn't listed in the package. talkd (or possibly xinetd?) also uses tcpwrappers, so before talk will work you need to add a "talkd: " line in /etc/hosts.allow. The manpages included for talk and talkd are the BSD ones, but the talk & talkd in this package are the GNU ones: the options are different (use talk --help and talkd --help to find out what they are).

See also wiki page "Talkd and the talk command", which I've just set up to save others having to figure this out smile
