Larry,

We're on 5.5 here, and that type of info is in the SERVICES.NET.SYS
file.  However, apparently some entries for ports are required to
be in this file, while some are not. Maybe someone with more expertise
can clear things up for both of us (and maybe more?).

This is our SERVICES.NET.SYS file:

#
echo           7/tcp                 # Echo
echo           7/udp                 #
discard        9/tcp  sink null      # Discard
discard        9/udp  sink null      #
daytime       13/tcp                 # Daytime
daytime       13/udp                 #
chargen       19/tcp  ttytst source  # Character Generator
chargen       19/udp  ttytst source  #
ftp           21/tcp
telnet        23/tcp
time          37/tcp  timeserver     # Time
time          37/udp  timeserver     #
(24/30) Continue?
domain        53/tcp  nameserver     # Domain Name Service
domain        53/udp  nameserver     #
bootps        67/udp                 # Bootstrap Protocol Server
bootpc        68/udp                 # Bootstrap Protocol Client
tftp          69/udp                 # Trivial File Transfer Protocol
syslog       514/udp                 # Syslog
DAServer     987/tcp                 # SQL distributed access
:

Notice that there are no entries in the file for the NS/VT port
(1570/1537), the SMTP or POP ports (25,110), or the standard URL
port (80), all of which we also use. On the other hand, entries
for Syslog and Bind (ports 514, 53) were added during the install.
