A service name corresponds to a unique PRC program number. Since "SOCKET" is not a service in /etc/services, I am not sure how this would work. If you want to deny access to a workstation, then select the service you want to deny, together with the IP address.<BR /><BR />Hope I understood the question and helped.<BR /><BR />Berlene<BR /><BR /> Tue, 30 Jan 2001 14:17:43 GMT https://community.hpe.com/t5/operating-system-hp-ux/port-socket-for-databases-en-inetd-sec/m-p/2487954#M596623 Berlene Herren 2001-01-30T14:17:43Z
