The following reply was made to PR conf/5809; it has been noted by GNATS. From: Bill Fenner <fenner@parc.xerox.com> To: FreeBSD-gnats-submit@freebsd.org Cc: Subject: Re: conf/5809: ircd ports not assigned in /etc/services Date: Sat, 21 Feb 1998 14:10:14 PST Does IRC use udp? I thought it only used TCP. Assigning the same name to two different ports means that getservbyname() may behave unpredictably; it also doesn't help if you care what the real port number is and someone uses getservbyport(6667) - if netstat prints out "ircd", is that port 6666 or 6667? I'd suggest using "ircd2" for 6667 to address these issues (and get rid of the udp entries unless IRC really does use udp).
