For each server a single line should be present with the following information: .HP 10 name of server .br .ns .HP 10 protocol .br .ns .HP 10 server location .PP Items are separated by any number of blanks and/or tab characters. A ``#'' indicates the beginning of a comment; characters up to the end of the line are not interpreted by routines which search the file. .PP The name of the server should be the official service name as contained in .IR services (5). The protocol entry is either udp or tcp. The server location is the full path name of the server program. .SH EXAMPLE .LP The following example is taken from the Sun UNIX system. .sp .nf .ta \w'comsat\0\0'u +\w'udp\0\0'u tcp tcp /usr/etc/in.tcpd telnet tcp /usr/etc/in.telnetd shell tcp /etc/in.rshd login tcp /etc/in.rlogind exec tcp /usr/etc/in.rexecd ttcp udp /usr/etc/in.ttcpd syslog udp /usr/etc/in.syslog comsat udp /usr/etc/in.comsat talk udp /usr/etc/in.talkd time tcp /usr/etc/in.timed .fi .SH FILES /etc/servers .SH "SEE ALSO" services(5), inetd(8) .SH BUGS Because of a limitation on the number of open files, this file must contain fewer than 27 lines.
