OK. This is much clearer (and, BTW, different from *any* of the interpretations I had thought of for your first message).
/etc/services does not "assign" ports to services; it just tells you want services are *normally* associated with a port. Your guess that something else is already using port 80 is a good one, but since we don't know the details of your setup, we can't actually tell you what that something is. You say ... >My internal clients access my DS web pages simply by typing the box' >hostname (or IP number) + assgined port no. (ie: >httpd://mydsbox:81/...). I also use a DS customized webmin.lrp package >running under a different port no., and also accessible via the same >procedure. ... at least implying that webmin is not on port 80, so I'm guessing that that is not the culprit. Are you perhaps port forwarding port 80? Or listening to it via inetd? See what "netstat -an" tells you about this port. See if "ps ax" turns up any unexpected processes that might be the source of the problem. See what "ipmasqadm portfw -l" tells you about forwarded ports. Since LRP 2.9.8 uses the 2.0 kernel by default (unless you were using the 2.2.x kernel variant), its routing/firewalling/NATing internals are quite a bit different from Dachstein. And the configuration files are very different from Dachstein in either case. So what looks to you like "using this same setup" may easily conceal considerable differences.
