Bug#277439: glibc should avoid using services listed in "services" when picking a RPC port

[Loïc Minier <lool@dooz.org>]

Package: libc6
Version: 2.3.2.ds1-18
Severity: wishlist

     Hi,

 As discussed on debina-devel below:
    <http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2004/10/threads.html#00292>
 it would be a nice thing to workaround the buginess of RPC services
 port assignment in glibc.  A simple solution would be to avoid using
 ports listed in /etc/services first and use them if nothing else is
 available.
