> I am wandering what is the function of the file 'service' You mean /etc/services. The answer to the question, "What is the function of the file /etc/services?" is: Translating service names to and from port/protocol pairs. > I can run the openldap '389' and don't need to add the port in the > service file. Why? Why not? If you tell OpenLDAP to run on port 389, then it has no need to translate a service name to or from a port number/protocol. Therefore, it has no need to look at /etc/services.
