So Jon wants to collect info on which socket numbers the "standard" service programs are using. Like, Loggers (telnet servers) Listen on socket 1 🧚 Bestie, what sockets are being Listened to at your host, and by which programs? Spill ☕

Dick Watson recently suggested assigning socket 5 to a mail-box protocol (RFC196). 📬 Does anyone object? Are there any ideas for how to assign sockets to standard programs? And should some of the socket numbers be reserved for future standard protocols? Lowkey a big question, no cap 👑
