"machine name" in ntalkd(8) request packets, when the destination
and source are local.
This should make talk(1) use much more pleasant for those security-
conscious individuals who have chosen to bind talkd to "localhost".
Previous to this change, talk(1) would require that the hostname of
the machine, as retrieved by gethostname(3), resolved to a valid and
reachable IPv4 address, using gethostbyname(3).
This makes talk(1) dependent on a valid host entry for "localhost"
in /etc/hosts (or the Domain Name System).

The $Id$ line is normally at the bottom of the main comment block in the
man page, separated from the rest of the manpage by an empty comment,
like so;
.\" $Id$
.\"
If the immediately preceding comment is a @(#) format ID marker than the
the $Id$ will line up underneath it with no intervening blank lines.
Otherwise, an additional blank line is inserted.
