          Platform: Compiled Sources
        OS/Version: Linux

Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.4.2)

Good Day,
I'm in the process of upgrading my KDE system to 3.4.2
I'm using the Konstruct method to do this Upgrade.
I have so far installed KDElibs, KDEbase and KDEpim
When doing some testing, I found that the "kwrited" program does not
appear to be working.
When a "wall" command is entered from another User on my System
while I'm using KDE, I do not get the Window on the Screen with the
Wall message as I expected.
I have checked the following components that are related to 
"kwrited" but I can't see any obvious errors:
1.  in the KDE Control Center, under Service Manager, in the
    Starting Services area, the KDE Write Daemon box is checked and
    the Status says "Running"
2.  At KDE Startup, I see the following message in the Log:
    kded: Successfully loaded module 'kwrited'
3.  At the end of running KDE, I see the following message in the Log:
    KWrited - Listening on Device /dev/pts/0
4.  In /proc/filesystems, it shows devpts
5.  In "/dev/pts", everthing looks Valid
6.  The "utempter" on my system is 0.5.5
7.  The /usr/sbin/utempter program is -rwxr-sr-x root root
8.  Environment
    A.  Hardware     - Pentium 4, 256Mb Ram
    B.  Distribution - Caldera 2.3
    C.  Kernel       - Linux 2.6.9 
    D.  XFree86      - 4.4.0
Any information that someone could supply to me to get this problem
resolved would be greatly appreciated.
Yours truly,
Frank Krauss
