It's not in /etc/services. It is not a well-known port. Your /etc/services
or other source of data claiming it to be `nterm' is wrong. See
<http://www.isi.edu/in-notes/iana/assignments/port-numbers>.
More to the point, if I were a random user-spawned process looking to
create a port for my own use... I'd chose the lowest available just above
1024, myself.
