You can find most services listed in /etc/services which is a subset
of the IANA (Internet Assigned Numbers Authority) assigned port numbers plus
a few site specific goodies thrown in for good measure.

  ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^     You said ftp?  Ftp should be on 21.  What's it doing
on that port number?  That port number is "unassigned" according to IANA.

        Ok...  This last bunch is "good drugs time"...

        The port number is an unsigned short, a 16 bit unsigned number.
i.e. 0-65535.  There ain't no port numbers above 65535.

        Gee...  I think I see a pattern here (and probably a buggy program).
What app gave you that list?  It's either out of rev or you need to file
a bug report.
