Subject: UNIX Network Ports - names?
Mime-Version: 1.0

Precedence: bulk

doing a "netstat" on my FreeBSD 2.1.6 server, I discover all ports
having their own names... 80 is http (I got that one ;) but several
have quite strange names - "chromagrafx", "fc-ser", "bytex" etc etc...

Where do these come from? Where can I read about their significance?
What configuration file specifies them?

I've searched several unix/freebsd FAQ's (I even RTFM'ed some!) but
am still clueless.

Thank you very much.
