5276.0. "equivalent of /etc/services ?" by FIREBL::LEEDS (From VAXinated to Alphaholic) Mon Feb 24 1997 12:52

Got the attached from a customer who is obviously a UNIX TCP/IP support 
person trying to set up UCX on OpenVMS Alpha.. I'm not familiar with the 
UNIX files for TCP/IP, so I'm not sure what he's asking... can someone help?

Regards,

Arlan

OK, I've gotten a server up and running under UCX - works just fine.
However, I can't seem to find in the documentation where the equivalent
of /etc/services lives.  Any clues?

	$ UCX SHOW SERVICES sounds a likely bet. Julie
5276.2	two protocols, one service ?	FIREBL::LEEDS	From VAXinated to Alphaholic	`Tue Feb 25 1997 10:53`	30
	Well - apparently he thought that like UNIX, UCX would just have editable files to define things like services... he didn't even know the UCX command existed... now that he's using it, he sent me the following. I know he's missing some qualifiers (like/username, /process_name, and /file), but it looks like his main problem is that fact that he wants one service ("sq") on port 40000 to use two protocols, both tcp and udp... apparently UCX doesn't allow that... how can he get around this ?? Thanks Arlan -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- OK, I shoulda known there wouldn't be an editable text file akin to /etc/services. I found this utility called UCX which allows me to define services via the "SET SERVICE" command. But I've got a problem. A la the PORTMAPPER, I have a service which uses both TCP port 40000 and UDP port 40000. However, I am having no success at defining my own service to use both protocols. The command UCX> set service sq/port=40000/proto=(tcp,udp) gives the error %CLI-W-CONFLICT, illegal combination of command elements - check documentation \TCP\
5276.3	can be done	UTRTSC::KNOPPERS	Oswald Knoppers	`Tue Feb 25 1997 11:00`	13
	Haven't checked the exact command syntax, but i can be done. For instance the bind service looks like: UCX> sho service bind/fu Service: BIND State: Enabled Port: 53 Protocol: TCP,UDP Address: 0.0.0.0 Inactivity: 0 User_name: UCX$BIND Process: UCX$BIND Limit: 1 Active: 1 Peak: 1 [etc] Oswald

	re: .3 >Haven't checked the exact command syntax, but i can be done. For instance >the bind service looks like: > Just found note 3707 -- looks like it can NOT be done, that bind, portmapper and other services are "special cases" using an undocumented qualifier (/flags=ucx) which does not work for generic services.
