[Drop the xrootd list explicitly to see if RT stops sending multiple copies
of mails...]
Hi unix-admin,
I forgot about proofd, so I'd like to amend my request. Is it possible
to ask Redhat to add the following lines:
proofd 1093/tcp # ROOT PROOF daemon
proofd 1093/udp # ROOT PROOF daemon
rootd 1094/tcp # ROOT daemon
rootd 1094/udp # ROOT daemon
to the default /etc/services file which they distribute in RHEL? Both ports
are registered with IANA. (Since you pay them to listen to your requests,
hopefully they will respond!)
thanks,
Pete
