Subject: [netatalk-admins] Help with installing netatalk

Hi all,
I'm trying to install netatalk on a Solaris 2.5.1 system so that
I may access unix files on my Mac at home over the
company-provided
ISDN line. I've installed a lot of software, but I know little
about networking in general and almost nothing about AppleTalk in
particular. I don't know if this question is related to that or
not.
My question involves the entries for /etc/services (or services
NIS
map in my case):
rtmp 1/ddp # Routing Table Maintenance
Protocol
nbp 2/ddp # Name Binding Protocol
echo 4/ddp # AppleTalk Echo Protocol
zip 6/ddp # Zone Information Protocol
Can these port numbers be changed? In particular, port 1 is
already
claimed by something called tcpmux. Looking through the list, the
only doubled up port uses I see are ones for the same service but
different protocols. In general, these port numbers are mighty
low
and might draw the attention of other sysadmins who would object
to
anything with the letters a-p-p-l-e that looks that tightly
coupled
with the operating system. Large port numbers would look more
like
"just another application" and probably attract less concern.
Thanks in advance!
Andrew Robinson
