I spent several years (unsuccessfully) trying to convince a sister company that allocating TCP ports starting at 6001 for an application was not a good idea (the system _did_ include an X-server, but not multi-headed, luckily). It made using ssh quite a pain at times. Orbix (IONA's CORBA implementation) uses a number of TCP ports - none of which seem to be registered. Closer to home, there's the recent problems with the RADIUS ports. Peter To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
