It seems that both NAS and junkbuster don't need an entry in
/etc/services (they use the port number directly) so it's
probably not my job to assign this number :-).

I don't know much about NAS but if port 8000 is a "well known" port
for NAS and other programs rely on that port number it should probably
use it. Otherwise it might be better to let junkbuster use this port
number because numbers like 80, 8080 or 8000 are often used for web
(proxy) services.


Thanks,

Peter
