/etc/services file in Linux
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Internet daemon is important service in Linux world. It takes care of all network services with the help of `/etc/services` file. In this article we will walk you through content, format of this file and what it means to a Linux system.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
`/etc/services` file contains list of network services and ports mapped to them. `inetd` or `xinetd` looks at these details so that it can call particular program when packet hits respective port and demand for service.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
As a normal user you can view this file since file is world readable. To edit this file you need to have root privileges.
|
|||

|||

|
|||
|
|
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 670293 Jun 7 2013 /etc/services
|
|||
|
|
```
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
### `/etc/services` file format
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
```
|
|||
|
|
service-name port/protocol [aliases..] [#comment]
|
|||
|
|
```
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Last two fields are optional hence denoted in `[` `]`
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
where –
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
* service-name is name of the network service. e.g. [telnet][2], [ftp][3] etc.
|
|||
|
|
* port/protocol is port being used by that network service (numerical value) and protocol (TCP/UDP) used for communication by service.
|
|||
|
|
* alias is alternate name for service.
|
|||
|
|
* comment is note or description you can add to service. Starts with `#` mark
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
### Sample` /etc/services` file
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
```
|
|||
|
|
# Each line describes one service, and is of the form:
|
|||
|
|
#
|
|||
|
|
# service-name port/protocol [aliases ...] [# comment]
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
tcpmux 1/tcp # TCP port service multiplexer
|
|||
|
|
rje 5/tcp # Remote Job Entry
|
|||
|
|
echo 7/udp
|
|||
|
|
discard 9/udp sink null
|
|||
|
|
```
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Here, you can see use of optional last two fields as well. `discard` service has alternate name as `sink` or `null`.
