What ever crlserver is, it needs to be started somehow. Two examples of
how this can be done is like sendmail and telnet
1) sendmail is started as a stand-alone server that connects to port 25
2) telnet is lanuched via inet. Here, the port is accessed, inet sees
which port it is, checks /etc/services for a service, then checks
inetd.conf for how to launch that service.
If you want to use /etc/services (or more accuratley, inetd), add the
service to both /etc/services and inetd.conf. Otherwise find the program
and try to start it as a stand-alone.
Finally, to see if a port is listening, just try to telnet to it:
telnet localhost 1964 (that is the most basic way to see if that port
will respond).
