They can open and listen a port regardless of if it's listed in /etc/services or not. So if your application fails to listen a port the problem is somewhere else and not in /etc/services. Fix your app. Sami

MIT's Kerberos does this, IIRC. > So if your application fails to listen a port the problem is somewhere > else and not in /etc/services. Fix your app. -- Chris
