NAME
     servers - Internet server database

DESCRIPTION
     The servers file contains the list of servers that inetd(1M)
     operates.   For  each server a single line should be present
     with the following information:

          name of server
          protocol
          server location

     If the server is RPC-based, then the name  field  should  be
     rpc,  and  following  the server location are two additional
     fields, one with the RPC program  number,  the  second  with
     either a version number or a range of version numbers.

     Items  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(4N).  The protocol entry is either
     udp or tcp.  The server location is the full pathname of the
     server program.

EXAMPLES
     The following are examples of Internet servers:

        tcp     tcp   /usr/etc/in.tcpd
        telnet  tcp   /usr/etc/in.telnetd
        shell   tcp   /etc/in.rshd
        login   tcp   /etc/in.rlogind
        exec    tcp   /usr/etc/in.rexecd
        tcp     udp   /usr/etc/in.ttcpd
        syslog  udp   /usr/etc/in.syslog
        comsat  udp   /usr/etc/in.comsat
        talk    udp   /usr/etc/in.talkd
        time    tcp   /usr/etc/in.timed
        rpc     udp   /usr/etc/rpc.rstatd   100001   1-2
        rpc     udp   /usr/etc/rpc.rusersd  100002   1
        rpc     udp   /usr/etc/rpc.rwalld   100008   1
        rpc     udp   /usr/etc/rpc.mountd   100005   1


LIMITATIONS
     Because of a limitation on the number of  open  files,  this
     file must contain fewer than 27 lines.
