I'm sorry I was not clear. The question then should be: if what you are saying is correct, then the man page is wrong and we should remove or correct the part about /etc/protocols. The man page clearly says: "The protocol must be a valid protocol as given in /etc/protocols." As a matter of fact, the man page for 4.2 say so also. Now being even more annoying, decided to check the code. "$FreeBSD: /c/ncvs/src/usr.sbin/inetd/inetd.c,v 1.80.2.2 2000/10/24 19:18:29 dwmalone Exp $"; Comments in the code says: protocol must be in /etc/protocols Granted, I don't see where it is used, but I don't see where /etc/services is used either. If you are correct, then the man pages still needs a correction. In either case, I need to know what to put. Your assitance appreciated. Jessem.
