The following reply was made to PR misc/5855; it has been noted by GNATS. From: Studded <Studded@san.rr.com> To: freebsd-gnats-submit@freebsd.org, Studded@san.rr.com Cc: Subject: Re: misc/5855: /etc/services is out of date with IANA Date: Mon, 02 Mar 1998 05:26:21 -0800 After some experimentation and a great deal of assistance (thanks Alex :) it turns out that this file is not in valid format, so please disregard my request to import the patch I sent to ftp.freebsd.org/incoming (services.diff.gz), and feel free to delete it. However, the fact remains that we are pretty far out of date with IANA in some areas, and lacking the definitions for many many services. I'd like to leave this PR open, with the hope that some enterprising soul will go through and do the corrections and additions, putting the new entries in proper format (man services(5)). I volunteered to do this if someone were to make reasonable assurance that it'd get committed, however the complete lack of response to that offer and this PR does not fill me with hope. :) Finally, the "ircd" definitions are still wrong. The entry for port 6666 should be deleted altogether since it's not a standard irc port, and 6667 should either be "ircd" or "ircu" as IANA has it. My personal preference is for "ircd" since I hate to give away anything to undernet, but I'm biased. :) Doug -- *** Chief Operations Officer, DALnet IRC network *** *** Proud operator, designer and maintainer of the world's largest *** Internet Relay Chat server. 5,328 clients and still growing. *** Try spider.dal.net on ports 6662-4 (Powered by FreeBSD) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
