Please help with opening a port??
Hello all,
I need assistance...
I need to open a port # 36677 and have it remain open even after a power cycle.

I thought all I needed to do was add it to /etc/services. That was not it...

Can someone please tell me how to do this.

Thank you.

I have no /etc/ipf/ipf.conf file ??

I am sure I am way over thinking this. There is a port and it needs to be opened (listening)

I have done it before, on this box even but it has been years and I can't damn remember, because it is only one of 3 solaris boxes I manage and normally do nothing to them. lol

check the service from this file /etc/inetd.conf

inetd will spawn ports if it's configured to do so; and server processes
will always be listening on a given port.
