Problem with srcmstr 0513-085 timed is not on file

Question:

I am trying to start the time daemon, 'timed' at AIX 3.2.3, but 
when I execute 

  'startsrc -s timed' 

from the command line as root, I get:

   0513-085:timed is not on file.
 This subsystem is set to start upon boot, but gives the same
error message at IPL.  It would appear that this file does not exist,
but I know the executable is on the system.  I did an odme SRCsubsys
and could see that the ODM had no trace of this subsystem.  How can
I get it to recognize it?  
Response:

For some reason the INETSERV ODM database does not contain entries for 'timed'.
To create the neccessary objects in the ODM type the following on the command 
line as root:

  mkssys -s timed -p /etc/timed -u 0 -G tcpip -S -n 1 -f 2 -a "-S"

This command should be found in the /etc/inetbld file.  

Response:

When you ran the above command, it failed saying that an entry for 'timed' 
already existed.  You had previously tried to add an entry into the 
/etc/objrepos/SRCsubsys file manually.  To back off the object that you
added, type:

  odmdelete -q"subsysname=timed" -o SRCsubsys

Once you executed this command, you were able to run the above mkssys 
command and then you were able to start the daemon normally.
