However, IANA changed the registration on 2004-02-20 to be xmpp-client and xmpp-server. This should be reflected in the /etc/services file. I don't think retaining the old names is needed (the IANA services file doesn't list them). One of the problems this causes is that applications developed on Linux based systems, that do SRV lookups, and want to use the port number from /etc/services as a fallback, fail mysteriously. >How-To-Repeat: >Fix: Rename jabber-client and jabber-server to xmpp-client and xmpp-server, optionally using the former two as aliases. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
