Hi, 2008/8/30 Paul Dufresne <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > 2008/8/30 Thomas Weinbrenner <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > Well, it is more than just a name. man inetd says:
It's simply the information that says: smtp is on port 25 ssh is on port ... ... nothing more nothing less. It depends on inetd (and only inetd) wether to use this information and how to use this information. There are btw. different inetd servers available I'm too lazy right now to check up for but at least openbsd-inetd and xinetd should be there. I vaguely remember some inetd that insisted on only accepting services being configured if they were listed in /etc/services - the chance of my brain lying to me right now isn't that unrealistic so you might want to check that. If you insist on making your /etc/services file tell that "ssh is on port 2022" that is totally up to you but I wouldn't recommend it, afaik the listings in there are standardized port numbers. hth martin -- http://www.xing.com/profile/Martin_Marcher You are not free to read this message, by doing so, you have violated my licence and are required to urinate publicly.
