SERVICES(5) BSD File Formats Manual SERVICES(5)NAME
services -- service name data base
DESCRIPTION
The services file contains information regarding the known services available in the DARPA Internet. For each service a single line should
be present with the following information:
official service name
port number
protocol name
aliases
Items are separated by any number of blanks and/or tab characters. The port number and protocol name are considered a single item; a ``/''
is used to separate the port and protocol (e.g. ``512/tcp''). A ``#'' indicates the beginning of a comment; subsequent characters up to the
end of the line are not interpreted by the routines which search the file.
Service names may contain any printable character other than a field delimiter, newline, or comment character.
INTERACTION WITH DIRECTORY SERVICES
Processes generally find service records using one of the getservent(3) family of functions, or using getaddrinfo(3). On Mac OS X, these
functions interact with the DirectoryService(8) daemon, which reads the /etc/services file as well as searching other directory information
services to determine service name, protocol, and port information.
FILES
/etc/services
SEE ALSO getservent(3), getaddrinfo(3), DirectoryService(8)HISTORY
The services file format appeared in 4.2BSD.

I'm just wondering what the differences/relationships there are between processes, services, daemons and subsystems?
I keep coming across these terms but I can't find clear definitions/explanations of these terms.

Hi all, is it possible to use a different port number for daytime service. By default the port number of daytime service is 13, so what if I want to get the time from a different port number e.g say 9000 (or any other port).
I guess this would remain the same on the server side !... (2 Replies)
I had a doubt if any services need to be restarted if port no in /etc/services in an RHEL setup is changed. For eg, the port no of 443 for SSL may need to be changed.
I hope my query is clear whether any services need to be restarted if port no in /etc/services is changed.
