/etc/services buglet



Hey with all my exams out of the way, I've actually got some time to
play on my machine.  Sorry, if you're all getting tired of seeing posts
from me.

Problem with /etc/services.  I've the the following lines

bootps  67/tcp  dhcps   #bootp protocol service
bootps  67/udp  dhcps   #bootp protocol service

Now, bootpd doesn't get launched.  8(  However, if I remove the dhcps
aliases, then it does work.  So, something isn't getting parsed
correctly because according to the services manpage the format of the
services file should be:

protocol  port/type  aliases  #comment

Don't know if this is a known problem or what.  It's not a bigee, but I
thought you guys would like to know...
