I have a question about some of the "non-obvious" services in the /etc/services file. Notably, ... - What exactly is the *purpose* of whois (43/tcp)? - What is pop (109/tcp) and sftp (115/tcp)? - Is netwall (533/udp) implemented? I would hope there's *some* form of security here so Joe Average Random User can't broadcast a message to every system from California to Canada! - What is "conference" (531/tcp)? It's listed as "chat", but I haven't heard anything about it. | Bill White Internet: bwhite@oucsace.cs.ohiou.edu | | THE FIFTH RULE: | | You have taken yourself too seriously. |
