Package: netbase
Version: 5.0
Severity: normal

Reported on Ubuntu LP #1154401 [1], confirmed in Debian source package.

Please update /etc/services definition of port 465/tcp to be urd as per the
current IANA port assignments [2], specifically:

521c521
< ssmtp 465/tcp smtps # SMTP over SSL
---
> urd 465/tcp # URL Rendesvous Directory for Source-Specific Multicast

The rationale is that although smtps was used for some time it was never
standardized, and for secure email transmission has far been surpassed by
SMTP+TLS on port 25/tcp or 587/tcp. Source-specific multicast is still
being used, and is an IETF defined standard.

Thanks,
Bryan
