Full Discussion: Are the BSDs dying?
The Lounge What is on Your Mind? Are the BSDs dying? Post 303012299 by Peasant on Thursday 1st of February 2018 11:29:54 PM

I have zero experience with BSD(s), but i've heard all the praises for their network stack.
Haven't tested it in real world, and development in linux is moving light speed so perhaps it is not the case anymore.

The victory of linux over unix(es) is perhaps a victory for consumers having cheap (free) operating system, but i do not see it as a good thing for IT in general.

Domination of one product and philosophy, regardless if it's open and free is still a bad thing.

As my older colleagues say, system admins will remember the good old days where servers were made to last, programs coded with care and implemented per standards.

Regards
Peasant.

PROTOCOLS(5)						      BSD File Formats Manual						      PROTOCOLS(5)

NAME
protocols -- protocol name data base DESCRIPTION
The protocols file contains information regarding the known protocols used in the DARPA Internet. For each protocol a single line should be present with the following information: official protocol name protocol number aliases 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. Protocol names may contain any printable character other than a field delimiter, newline, or comment character. INTERACTION WITH DIRECTORY SERVICES
Processes generally find protocol records using one of the getprotoent(3) family of functions. On Mac OS X, these functions interact with the DirectoryService(8) daemon, which reads the /etc/protocols file as well as searching other directory information services to determine protocol name and number information. FILES
/etc/protocols SEE ALSO
getprotoent(3), DirectoryService(8) HISTORY
The protocols file format appeared in 4.2BSD. 4.2 Berkeley Distribution June 5, 1993 4.2 Berkeley Distribution
