9192.0. "Up to date services file?" by CSC32::A_LICAUSE () Fri Mar 14 1997 13:28

    
    Can someone tell us where the services file is maintained?
    
    The one I have on this V4.0 system seems to be missing a lot of
    port id's that microsoft systems are using.
    
    (i.e. 50, 234, 201, ...)
    
    thanks,

    /etc/services.
9192.2/etc/join/dhcptagsCSC32::A_LICAUSEFri Mar 14 1997 14:1510
    Sorry.  Let me be a little clearer.  I'm aware of the location on the
    system of the services file.  
    
    What I wanted to know was whether or not there is a more up to date
    version maintained that might have more ports listed.
    
    Actually I think what I'm looking for may be found in
    /etc/join/dhcptags.

9192.3No ports in dhcptags, just tagsNETRIX::"[email protected]"Brian HaleyFri Mar 14 1997 15:1017
Hi,

/etc/dhcptags contains "tags" or options for joind.  These are assigned
by the IANA, see http://www.isi.edu/div7/iana/descript.html and click
on "BOOTP and DHCP Parameters" to see the full list.

Microsoft seems to have pirated some in the reserved range without
registering them (234, 201), but 50 is a straight BOOTP IP address
request.  You might have disabled BOOTP compatibility and that's
why these aren't getting serviced.

"Real" tags are from 1-254, V4.0 should have 1-77 plus a few out of that
range for JOIN.  If you accidentally removed your file you should be
able to copy it from the CD.  I can mail you one if you're really stuck.

	The most up to date list of services (ie. registered TCP and
	UDP ports) is to go to the IANA home page (http://www.isi.edu/)
	which is the Internet authority that is the official registry
	(and for much more than just port numbers).  The port numbers
	are in:

ftp://ftp.isi.edu/in-notes/iana/assignments/port-numbers

	which except for some commentary at the top, is in the same
	format as /etc/services (someone should suggest to them to
	put a # in front of each of the commentary lines at the top
	so one could just fetch the file and not have to edit it :-).

    RE: .3  Thanks very much for the added info and the offer to cpy or
    mail the file, but I do have the supplied version.
    
    RE:.4  Thanks and I'll check the official source.  If there's room for
    	comment, I'll pass yours along.
