SERVERS(5)

NAME
servers - inet server data base

SYNOPSIS
/etc/servers

DESCRIPTION
The servers file contains the list of servers that inetd(8) operates. For each server a single line should be present with the following information: name protocol location If the server is rpc based, the name field should be rpc. In this case, two additional fields are defined. These two fields are the rpc program number, and either a version number or a range of version numbers.

Fields are separated by any number of blanks or tab characters. A # indicates the beginning of a comment; characters up to the end of the line are not interpreted by routines that search the file.

The name of the server should be the official service name as contained in services(5). The protocol entry is either udp or tcp. The server location is the full path name of the server program.

BUGS
Because of a limitation on the number of open files, this file must contain fewer than NOFILE minus 3 lines (refer to <sys/param.h>).
