Hmm. Reading your and dato answers, it seems I wrote wrongly my mail. The question (still in subject) was how to have admin-chosen ports for some services. The first proposal was to dynamically change port in inetd configuration. I proposed to move the dynamic port in the "/etc/services" level, not necessary modifying such file, but in a way accessible to getservbyname(3). But now I'm not sure about: - if it is a good thing to have admin choosed ports - if /etc/services level is the right thing to do. ciao cate
