Hey guys, my first post here, so don't shoot me. (Don't know if this is the right place to come with the question) I'm running RELENG_6 (built yesterday)m and after installing the iscsi-target from ports, I found that I could not get it started.. I got the error "***ERROR*** getaddrinfo: servname not supported for ai_socktype", which after googling for half an hour turns out to be a cryptic message meaning a service is not found in /etc/services. After getting a later version of /etc/services, the iscsi-target would start, but I was not able to connect using an initiator on another machine. I then found out these ports in /etc/services: (apparently since rev 1.112) iscsi 860/tcp iscsi 860/udp While my initiator expected to see port 3260. After some more googling, I found out port 860 is a port to be used ONLY when in need of a system TCP port number (?) but by default, port 3260 must be used: RFC3720 says: The well-known user TCP port number for iSCSI connections assigned by IANA is 3260 and this is the default iSCSI port. Implementations needing a system TCP port number may use port 860, the port assigned by IANA as the iSCSI system port; however in order to use port 860, it MUST be explicitly specified - implementations MUST NOT default to use of port 860, as 3260 is the only allowed default. Is this in error in /etc/services, or an error in my logic? Kind regards, Angelo Höngens The Netherlands.help
