Having nothing better to do on my holidays, I've been entertaining
myself reading /etc/services. There's some wonderful service names,
current favourites being 'openport', 'hassle', and 'shrinkwrap'.
Then I saw what looks like a typo:
cadlock 1000/tcp
ock 1000/udp
I traced it back through CVS and wound up at RFC1700, where it is
listed exactly the same. But it still _looks_ like a typo :-)
Generally the same number is assigned for both TCP and UDP even if both
are not required by the service, and /etc/services reads very Noah's
Ark style, although there are some exceptions.
What if it were a typo? Do RFCs have bugs? errata?
Or would that be sacrilege?
