But there's no reason for it to be random when /etc/services has a port reserved for it. Or do you see one?
honestly, i'm confused as to what _should_ be ... i looked for, but did not find, an RFC for rquotad. this comment, http://kerneltrap.org/mailarchive/linux-fsdevel/2007/11/27/451355 seems to verify that there is none, really :-/ i can say simply that /etc/services has quotad 762/tcp quotad 762/udp not rquotad 4003/tcp rquotad 4003/udp as referenced/instructed @ http://www.novell.com/support/viewContent.do?externalId=7000524&sliceId=1 and, rquotad ignores 'quotad' port assignment in /etc/services, but DOES pick up 'rquotad' port if defined _either_ in /etc/services _as_ rquotad, or with a "-p (port)" spec. if you search around, the interchangeable (mis)use of quotad vs rquotad is, at best, confusing. maybe (?) some of the confusion comes from the facts that, per rquotad manpage: "... The results are used by quota(1) ..." my suggestion -- switch to consistent use pf rquotad. it's what novell references in its docs, there's a manpage for it, etc ... even the (mis)named /etc/init.d/quota references it. then again, not sure what implications that has elsewhere. like you said -- it's a mess. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
