I am actually sending this in at Gerry Wilson's (glwilson) request.

What were you trying to do?
	use talk

What's wrong:
	due to some error which we are still trying to narrow down
	talk came back with "You do not exist. Go away."

What should have happened:
	A more user friendly message should be displayed.



P.S.  Please do not send suggestions as to why this is occurring,
we're pretty sure this is a problem with layered athena and HAVE
checked utmp, etc.  The point of this bug report is merely because
Prof. Wilson did not like the error message and became rather irate
with us as a result.  Thanks!
