/etc/services file deleted?

I have recently upgraded my Arch box and today I found out that /etc/services was...deleted!
The deletion happened on 19 July, this is the relative section of my /var/log/pacman.log:

None of these packages has /etc/services in its file list, but some of them must have messed it up to the point of removing it!
Has somebody experienced the same issue?

Skips all dependency checks. Normally, pacman will always check a package's dependency fields to ensure that all dependencies are installed and there are
no package conflicts in the system.
Emphasis mine.
If -d only skipped missing dependencies, it would be pretty useless . It's very useful to upgrade single packages, but you should use it with care. Using it during a system-wide update is pretty bad practice.
Yes I agree...
However there should be a way to easily block a package from being installed; I have used customizepkg or IgnorePkg in pacman.conf..but there isn't yet something like Gentoo's way

Specify Oracle Application Server EM Port in \ETC\SERVICES File - Help

Hi,
Can anyone tell me what to soecify in the /ETC/SERVICES file for Oracle Application Server Enterprise Manager Console 9.0.4 , so that the port is not used by any other process.
I have had situation where a rogue process was using port 1810 and was preventing the console from loading up.
Can anyone help??
I have to do this on a production system.
Thanks

Did you get an answer to this question?
I'm looking for the same information thanks to a rougue piece of software that removed my entry in /etc/services for port 1810 during it's install. I don't know what the service name should be. Of course - there was no backup copy of this file made prior to the install. It's a development box, so it doesn't get backed up often.
I can get the infra page to load fine, but the midtier page will not load.
I'm curious to know if you ever found anything on this.
Thanks,
Deb

/etc/services file needed

Hi
Plesae give me contents of /etc/services file on Solaris system which hosts a working Solution Manager 4.0 system on Oracle database.
This is to compare with my system to solve a problem.
Thanks
Ashraf

Hi Ashraf,
You need to have the following entries. If you are going to use a SAProuter, you also need 99, as port 3299 is usually used for the SAProuter process on the target system.
sapdpXX    32XX/tcp # SAP Dispatcher.      3200 + Instance-Number
sapgwXX    33XX/tcp # SAP Gateway.         3300 + Instance-Number
sapmsSID   36XX/tcp # SAP Message Server. 3600 + Instance-Number
sapgwXXs   48XX/tcp # SAP Secure Gateway   4800 + Instance-Number
Where XX is you instance number,
Hope ths help!

JCo connection fails / entries in 'services' file

Hi all,
I am in trouble when I create my JCo : ping and test both fail for the metadata JCo (the modeldata is OK because I am not using load balancing on it). I know I have to create the following entry in the 'services' file of the J2EE server :
sapms<SID> 36<sysNumber>/tcp
But the server administrator doesn't want to do this because there is already an entry pointing to the same port number, and he thinks that may cause trouble if 2 entries point to the same port.
What do you think of this ? If you can't have to entries with the same port, how can you connect to 2 different backend with the same instance number ? I guess this is quite a common issue.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Julien

Hum...
I tried to write an entry with a port number that is not used in the file.
The last line of my etc/services file now looks like
sapmsDIA 3677/tcp
and the instance number is 00
And it does not work.
I had a look in the SLD and I saw that a message server port had been defined when the WAS ABAP technical system was created. Maybe the value has to be the same in the SLD and in the etc/services file ? Should I try to delete and recreate the technical system in the SLD with a different ms port number ?
Anyone ?

/etc/services clobbered in upgrade

I've encountered this a few times and am finally sick of restoring /etc/services from backup so am posting the question:
- what package could be clobbering my /etc/services file? Every so often after an upgrade all of the local services I have added to /etc/services disappear. These are ones which I use xinetd to handle. There are no other differences other than my local services.
Any help in identifying the package, or how to prevent this would be very much appreciated, my latest upgrade was pretty big, and included the following packages:

What are /etc/services entries for RMI_PORT and JMS_PORT for DBConsole 11g

Good morning,
What is the CentOS /etc/services entry for the Oracle Enterprise Manager Database Control for the RMI_PORT of 5510 and the JMS_PORT of 5520 so as to ensure EM "owns" the ports?
The emca was successful and the corresponding rmi.xml and jms.xml config files have the correct ports, but they did not register within the /etc/services file while the DBCONSOLE_HTTP port of 1158 and AGENT_PORT of 3938 have the correct entries of:
dbconsole-oms 1158/tcp # Oracle dbConsole Agent
dbconsole-oms 1158/udp # Oracle dbConsole Agent
dbcontrol_agent 3938/tcp # Oracle dbControl Agent po
dbcontrol_agent 3938/udp # Oracel dbControl Agent po
So, while EM works just fine, the RMI_PORT and JMS_PORT values need to be reserved with the correct /etc/services entries.
Thanks,
Mike Jay

Normally, they don’t do any port or packet inspection stuff. Although there are a lot of rumors on the Internet, I have not seen a single operator (over the whole world) doing such stuff. All cases where related to NAT and UDP miss-routing. Some could be solved, some could not becuase of bad network topology at operator side. They are far too lazy. Consequently, we have a official position here: You are not allowed and you should adhere your contact(s).
gulfmart, which issue do you face?

Is a reboot necessary after updating /etc/services.

We are installing GRC 5.3 on our Solution Manager Box. We added the backend systems in the /etc/services file. When trying to create the Jco connections, we are getting the following error: com.sap.mw.jco.JCO$Exception: (102) RFC_ERROR_COMMUNICATION: Connect to message server host failed Connect_PM TYPE=B MSHOST=sapsandbox3 GROUP=BISANDBOX R3NAME=WBS MSSERV=sapmsWBS PCS=1 LOCATION CPIC (TCP/IP) on local host with Unicode ERROR service 'sapmsWBS' unknown TIME Mon Feb 09 17:20:02 2009 RELEASE 700 COMPONENT NI (network interface) VERSION 38 RC -3 MODULE nixxhsl.cpp LINE 776 DETAIL NiHsLGetServNo: service name cached as unknown COUNTER 1
Do we need to reboot the server or is there another problem here?
Thanks!

I think it is not necessary to reboot the server for GRC installation.
Rather this problem looks like with the Service file on your host is not Current Version...
Check if you have following entries in your "Services" file.
locate : C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\services
sapms??? <port>/tcp
??? here denotes for the name of the system and <port> for the TCP port of the message server.
Let us know ...

Sapms SID 3600/tcp entry can i add in services file ?????

Hi Forum,
In /etc/services file i am having entry sapms<SID> 3600/tcp but i would also want to add one more entry in it as sapms<SID> 3900/tcp.
Can i do it? what afftect on system?
Thanks & Regards,
SAP CRM

Hi,
3900 port is used by the message server < if instance number is 00> for opens another
port than port use by sapmsSID, that is only used for internal communication with the
application servers. Application servers must also log on using this
port; otherwise, their logons are rejected.
in case you set in service file i think there is no effect

I have an iMac purchased in May 2011. OSX Lion 10.7.3. I deleted backup file from the external hard drive which operates from Time Machine.
Now, the trash can will not empty some of the files deleted from the backup harddrive.
The trash contains-- File folder: "Core Services" which contains a locked file: "boot.efi".
It will not delete.
How do I get the trash can empty of these files?

Yes, the Old Master file has a folder for each year where I find all photos from that specific year. I am attaching a screen shot of the file.
In the meantime i have managed to download all photos (it did not download any video files though in mpg, avi, 3gp, m4v,mp4 and mov format) to a new iphoto library. Unfortunately the photos are quite mixed and often doubled up. I ma considering to purchase iphoto library which checks all duplicates in iphoto. this will save me a lot of time. What do you think?

How do I create a new user, move my old files etc over, and delete old user

This is why I think I need to.
My computer got hit by lightening, and I may have created a new user account through netinfo rather than system preferences /accounts/+user. Mail used to open twice, but no longer. Now, Safari askes me for my keychain password twice, Spotlight can't find a folder on the computer when the search is restricted to folder and computer, though the folder is there and easyfind finds it, and when System Preferences/Spotlight/Privacy has the hard drive icon added, then deleted, Spotlight still does not find anything. (Yes, everything is backed up, on CD, DVD, and online.) Microsoft Tec Support says
"Here is a summary of the key points of the case for your records.
When you contacted us on August 8, you had requested assistance with Microsoft Office 2004, as your installation of the updates was unable to find the correct version of the software to update. After creating a New MAC User, we identified the issue to be with a corrupt MAC User account, and not a Microsoft issue. "
I believe Microsoft. So, creating a new user was easy.
But copying files uses up too much hard drive (movies, music), and may miss keychains, preferences, mail, address book, and documents. Since Spotlight no longer works, who knows what is happening. (Yes, I've repaired persmissions, and disk repair. No change). I'm using up my hard drive trying to move files to the new user. If I share files, or put them into a public folder, then delete the old user, will I still have the old user's files in the new user's account? It is not clear to me what I should be trying to do in order to create a new user, move my old files etc over, and delete old user. Thanks.
My responses will be slow, because I have to drive to town to use the internet. I've ordered a new airport which may take care of that problem. SO be patient.

Hey -
I need to do the EXACT same thing, but have no idea how. Has anyone out there done this?
My situation is a tad different..this is a new Mac (and I'm a brand new Mac user). Tons of querks occur under my original account (videos won't run, Safari won't support certain plug-ins). I spent 6 hours on the phone w/ 4 different Apple Reps and nobody could fix it. A rep finally looked at my MacBook Pro in person today. He created a new account just to see if that would work and under that new account, everything works perfectly fine (no querks, can view video). He tried switching a million settings in my original account to no avail.
He said to create a new account (as he did) and move my files over to the new account and then go back to the original and delete it. How do you do this?! I can't figure it out! I've got a new account created, but of course it just has the default folders in it w/ the little red icons next to them! Thanks in advance!

Service for delete local files in Business Connector

I have used the "get" service for copy the files in the Business connector, does anybody know if there is any service for delete local files, i have seen the service for delete remote files with ftp, but i don´t know how to delete the copied files in my server.
Thanks in advance
regards

Hi Carlos,
For this issue the best choice is create your own Java Service. I attach you the Java code:
Put this code in a new Java Service
         boolean success = (new File("filename")).delete();
         if (!success) {
             // Deletion failed
   Before, you must to create an input parameter in the new service where you must to save the file path. Change Filename with the input parameter variable.
   It's not difficult.
Best Regards
Ivá

Service file /etc/inet/services

Do I still need to modify the services file when converting an inetd service to smf?

Yes. The inetd/name property will be checked against getservbyname(3SOCKET), so a services(4) entry is required. I believe the inetd(1M) manual page explains the various properties.
