The IANA frequently allocates the same port for both protocols. Take a look at RFC 1700. You'll see that most services have both TCP and UDP ports reserved, even though most probably use only one of them. | Ports and port numbers are different for TCP and UDP, right? Correct. Look at ports 512, 513, and 514 in /etc/services. -James
