>Description:
	/usr/libexec/talkd includes /usr/include/protocols/talkd.h
	which defines the structure of CTL_MSG to be 
----------
/* !_TALKD_H_ */
typedef struct {
	u_char	vers;		/* protocol version */
	u_char	type;		/* request type, see below */
	u_char	answer;		/* not used */
	u_char	pad;
	u_long	id_num;		/* message id */
	struct	osockaddr addr;		/* old (4.3) style */
	struct	osockaddr ctl_addr;	/* old (4.3) style */
	long	pid;		/* caller's process id */
#define	NAME_SIZE	12
	char	l_name[NAME_SIZE];/* caller's name */
	char	r_name[NAME_SIZE];/* callee's name */
#define	TTY_SIZE	16
	char	r_tty[TTY_SIZE];/* callee's tty name */
} CTL_MSG;
-------
	unluckily this makes quite a few programs that are trying
	to communicate with talk, fail. They seem to want a
	structure similar to:

typedef struct {
	u_char  vers;
	char    type;
	u_short filler;
	u_long  id_num;
	struct  sockaddr_in addr;
	struct  sockaddr_in ctl_addr;
	long    pid;
	char    l_name[NAME_SIZE];
	char    r_name[NAME_SIZE];
	char    r_tty[TTY_SIZE];
} CTL_MSG;

	The only real difference being the usage of
	"sockaddr_in" instead of "osockaddr".

	Is this a question of SYSV vs. BSD or would
	be sensible to change NetBSD to use sockaddr_in
	instead ?
