Bug#386334: ktalkd: inetd as nobody.tty causes setgid/setuid as myuser: Operation not permitted
Package: ktalkd
Version: 4:3.5.4-2
Severity: normal
ktalkd is set to run as nobody.tty in /etc/inetd.conf. When I try to
connect to it I get this in /var/log/daemon.log

I think the "setgid/setuid as myuser: Operation not permitted" line is
the problem. The same problem exists in Etch as well.
