A standard linux install does not have that port defined in /etc/services.
I dont know what program is concerned here but here is what needs o be done
to activate a port.
edit /etc/services and enter a line for the service, i am sure you will see
where and howto do that.
edit /etc/inetd.conf and then add something like the following.
crlserve stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd <program_name>
I presume you have the program concerned and its placed in /usr/sbin/
Now send a -HUP signal to the running inetd process, that should be all
that is needed.
Of course if crlserve needs anything special then you will need to tell
inetd what they are with options, there are plenty of examples in the
inetd.conf.
I hope this is what you are looking for.
