I would like to install a new server (pserver for CVS) on our DU 4.0B
system. I have the documentation about what to put in /etc/inetd.conf and
/etc/services.
However, pserver would like to use tcp port 2401, but in /etc/services that
port is already assigned to
writesrv 2401/tcp # for the write server (AIXism, new)
Looking in the man pages, writesrc is for the write command and appears to
be rather obsolete. writesrv is not included in our inetd.conf, nor is it
defined in our /etc/rc.config. I don't think we will ever use it.
I assume I can just reassign tcp port 2401 to the new server, right?
In the comment for writesrv in /etc/services, what does "AIXism, new" refer to?
The documentation with CVS claims that port 2401 for pserver "is officially
registered" whatever that means.
