It would be good to first confirm and/or fix what is in the
/etc/services file on the system in question before making that
change. See the man pages for master(5) and getservbyname(3).
Of course. But IANA has already made the change in the upstream
services(5) file, so in due time the use of "smtps" possibly
will stop working.
That's unlikely to occur any time soon. There isn't actually an IANA
"upstream services file," there's an IANA registry from which each
OS/distribution derives (mostly) their own default services file, which
in all cases I am aware of includes an aliasing mechanism. No two
current OS/distro 'families' of the 6 that I've checked have the same
465/tcp entry, and only Debian has 'submissions' as the primary name.
None include it as an alias. All except MacOS have smtps as either the
primary name or an alias.
