Hi List!

Till today, the resolution of TCP/UDP/... ports to it's common service name 
(e.g. 80 -> http) only used the system function getservbyname(), which in turn 
uses the file /etc/services (similiar happens on Win32). While this usually 
works for standards like HTTP, there are a lot of protocols usually not in the 
system wide /etc/services file.

This morning (SVN 22457/22458) I've added a possibility to use an external file 
to enhance this, with the same syntax as the commonly used /etc/services file. 
It can reside in the data dir or the personal dir, as the other name resolution 
files (manuf, ethers, ...).

I would like to have a more complete list of "port names", shipped together 
with Wireshark in the data dir, which then can be overwritten by a file in the 
personal config dir - just as we do it with the other name resolution files 
already.


The official IANA port list can be found at: 
http://www.iana.org/assignments/port-numbers, which could be used as a base. 

However, I don't know about copyright restrictions of this IANA file and 
couldn't find anything on their site, except a note "copyright by IANA".


Anyone with more information about this?

Regards, ULFL
