Обсуждение: Use of /etc/services?
Since we now have an official entry in /etc/services, shouldn't we be able to make use of it, by using getservbyname() if a nonnumeric port number is specified? -- Peter Eisentraut peter_e@gmx.net

NetBSD will be, as of 1.7, though the 1.7 release is a while away yet.

Sure, then let's start using getservbyname(), if it works. -- Bruce Momjian | http://candle.pha.pa.us pgman@candle.pha.pa.us | (610) 853-3000+ If your life is a hard drive, | 830 Blythe Avenue + Christ can be your backup. | Drexel Hill, Pennsylvania19026

I see PostgreSQL in /etc/services on an upgraded Redhat Linux 7.3 system. Don't think it was me adding it since I didn't have PG running on the system. Rod -- Please don't tell my mother I'm a System Administrator. She thinks I play piano in a bordello.

It's in FreeBSD 4-STABLE, and definitely in 4.6-RELEASE which is due out tomorrow.

Mph, complete with the typo in the UDP entry. Hang onto that, it'll
be a collector's item someday ;-)

Maybe I'll get my 5 minutes of fame. Cheers, Rod -- Please don't tell my mother I'm a System Administrator. She thinks I play piano in a bordello.
