hi again!

i solved my problem with google and some other unixes
docs..aix at most

talkd is started via inetd and executable is in
/usr/libexec/in.ntalkd
thus , #which talkd not give me the answer.
other my mistake is that i read man talkd and there is
an entry to mand with no one word for inetd or
in.ntalkd or inetd.conf....

i suggest some small additions in man page:

on bottom add related link to inetd
and on top add "talkd (or ntalkd) can be started via
/etc/inetd.conf and is located in
/usr/libexec/in.ntalkd"

or something like this....and man page will be more
actual and usefull.

sorry for inconvenience , regards!
