The really big question here is the relationship between our /etc/services and https://www.iana.org/assignments/service-names-port-numbers/service-names-port-numbers.txt The format you don't like seems to be sort of similar to the one from IANA. But we are quite out of sync from that, so I wonder about the other BSDs. Looking at the CVS history of src/etc/services (you didn't mention this, but it is of course highly informative): revision 1.104 date: 2022-11-27 21:48:33 -0500; author: jschauma; state: Exp; lines: +4876 -2122; commitid: 32OhFLVJATNRMp3E; regen from IANA 2022-11-22 ---------------------------- revision 1.103 date: 2021-04-08 15:03:43 -0400; author: christos; state: Exp; lines: +2167 -1938; commitid: OWMzgP5LIijfrwOC; refresh with latest ---------------------------- revision 1.102 date: 2019-10-09 18:42:14 -0400; author: sevan; state: Exp; lines: +73 -2613; commitid: yPvhkD2M6kinefGB; sync with latest from IANA ---------------------------- revision 1.101 date: 2019-06-15 11:22:56 -0400; author: christos; state: Exp; lines: +2697 -42; commitid: 1DqxZezrQZeHwirB; branches: 1.101.2; - sync with latest from iana - add ttcp ---------------------------- revision 1.100 date: 2019-01-03 12:30:06 -0500; author: christos; state: Exp; lines: +7802 -9512; commitid: WE0FBhgRwFbjtm6B; regen So I would talk to them and see what they did and why; it seems like there must be a script from an iana file, and then there's supposed to be the "local additions" section. Probably the real bug is losing that and it can be put back. But editing without understanding that flow seems unwise. Files generated like this usually have a Big Scary Warning, and this doesn't; probably someone(tm) should fix that. On the substance: The use of mail for port 465 was apparently assigned briefly and then not (we have STARTTLS now), and how is assigned to urd. I never thought it was for submission. It is not in the current IANA file. So it's a good question why it remains at all. I am therefore not ok with adding smtps. I wonder why kamanda is commented out. Probably because it conflicts and it is not assigned by IANA. > The repeated loss of entries is an immediate consequence of the file's > shape - look at the version history, no committer would look at the > diffs.

For now, I would say not ok about smtps -- I think we need to understand the larger plan of tracking upstream and if we are off plan how that happened. Let's hear from the people that have been maintaining this.
