I am trying to understand what HP application really uses the port 10000, which is defined
in /etc/services file as:
console 10000/tcp #MC/Sys Env console mutiplex
why console multiplexor needs a tcp port? will
there be a conflict if my home grown network application listens to this port?
thanks

Re: /etc/services
'/etc/services' port declarations represent an "intention" to use a port. It would be better to modify your application to use a different port number, even if you are not using this port.

SolutionNormally these ports will be useful when you have a remote console. In systems like V classes, the teststation consoles does the job of a system console and this ports comes in picture at that time.
These port numbers will be used when a request comes to access the console operations.

Re: /etc/services
In addition, I would not recommend to modify any of these settings even if they are not in use. You can have any other port numbers for your customized applications.

Re: /etc/services
I trust that you are using the getservbyname() function rather than using the port number directly. That makes changing the application merely a matter of updating /etc/services and/or the services NIS map. It also has the added advantage of 'advertising' your port by listing it in /etc/services.
