Thanks for the hint, this is what I was looking for. So the world has moved since 2005, at list a bit. 873 (rsync) is not listed in this file. - Is this a "bug" in libc6? - ... or in rsync? (Are the services supposed to add their ports on installation?) - ... or is it up to the administrator to add the ports manually? I couldn't find any policy on who is responsible for entering the port number. It seems to be the last option, which is not completely satisfactory, since it involves trial-and-error.
