DALnet ircd does not use udp at all, although we are seriously considering adding that feature. I looked it up and the IANA does prefer assigning both the tcp and the udp ports at the same time, however the point is moot for this particular assignment. The IANA has the following entry (although I think it's rather grandiose on undernet's part :): ircu 6665-6669/tcp IRCU ircu 6665-6669/udp IRCU I noticed numerous other small differences between their current version and our /etc/services. I would be willing to do a patch if someone could give me reasonable assurance that it'd be committed. Better yet, grab http://www.isi.edu/in-notes/iana/assignments/port-numbers and import it whole. :) Doug -- *** Chief Operations Officer, DALnet IRC network *** *** Proud operator, designer and maintainer of the world's largest *** Internet Relay Chat server. 5,328 clients and still growing. *** Try spider.dal.net on ports 6662-4 (Powered by FreeBSD) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
