Dear FW-1 Folks,
Thanks to those people who have already pointed out the /etc/services
directory information. I'll file that away for future reference, however, as
I've indicated it is an NT firewall [no flames or snide OS comments please],
I deal primarily - almost exclusively - with the GUI for management from my
PC, not at the FW1 server itself. When you're wearing several hats, you use
what you know best and what will get the job done quickly!
I guess my real question, which may or may not have a legitimate answer, is
why are there services defined in the /etc/services directory that are not
in the GUI?
I knew about the IANA and other port list, but didn't have the heart on a
Friday afternoon to start staring at them, looking through the thousands of
entries for the name of the service, not realizing it was so low on the
list!
Thanks in advance.
