You may find the /etc/services documentation here: http://svnweb.freebsd.org/base/releng/9.0/share/man/man5/services.5?view=markup BSD's do support aliases therein. There is just no such alias defined out of the box: telnet localhost ssmtp localhost: servname not supported for ai_socktype No complaints could be either user not using it, or defined the alias themselves. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
