I am aware that both are needed; I refer instead to the conflict between doom and mdqs. Here are the lines of interest from my services: % grep 666 /etc/services mdqs 666/tcp mdqs 666/udp doom 666/tcp #doom Id Software doom 666/udp #doom Id Software You will note that both mdqs and doom coexist on the same ports. One of these is presumably legitimate, allocated by IANA; the other is presumably not. I have not checked which is legitimate.
