Protocol Tables

The protocol table defines the UDP port number to use for broadcasts. We have set it to be the same as is used by the netmsgserver. If this causes problems at your site, you can change the entry at the nns line:


udp     5
{
        pmap    111
        nns     x7823
}

The illustration shows that the hex number ``7823'' is used.

If your site will not be using the broadcast mechanism for netname lookup, the protocol number is irrelevant.
