Hi Carmen,

Just going by the name ingreslock, it sounds like it is some sort of lock mechanism associated with an Ingres database. Do you run Ingres?

Hi,

No.... we don't have ingres.
This service is an all the HP-UX system that we have.... I think it comes by default with the system.

#more /etc/services |grep -i ingres

ingreslock 1524/tcp

Hi Carme

If you run netstat -na and port 1524/tcp is not in a listenining/connected state then Yes you can use it.

The convention is though ...
The Well Known Ports are those from 0 through 1023. ( Privelaged program/daemon use only )

The Registered Ports are those from 1024 through 49151. ( in /etc/services )

The Dynamic and/or Private Ports are those from 49152 through 65535 ( General use )

So you can use it if you want to just remember that if you get ingres apps maybe you might have a bit of a hickup.
