Question handling ports - urgent
Hi,
I am working in HP-UX workstation.
I have a software, which is mounted to my workstation from server. It uses a specific port for communication between my terminal and server, when i invoke the software.
The software is a Network licensed one.
If some other software uses the port that my software use. then my software fails to invoke.
Is there a way to restrict the port not to be used by other softwares.

Any idea would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Anent

Take a look at /etc/services and the man page for services. Also the software should have documented what port it uses and if you can change that port (usually in /etc/services).

Each different software should be set up in /etc/services to use a particular port which, in a way, restricts it. To restrict the port, you may need some type of 'firewall software' to allow only specific traffic to the port in question.
