You can try port scanning the target server with either nmap, strobe or some
other port scanning utility. This will provide you with a list of all open
ports on the target machine.
>From here on, you can either assume that every open port is running the
standard service for it and find out what this service is using any copy of
/etc/service (it's pretty much the same on all machines).
If you believe that a service may be running on a non-standard port, then you
may have to telnet to each of the open ports one by one and try to identify the
service on it. Unless the target server has an abnormally large number of
services running, this shouldn't be a problem.
