Description Ludvig Ericson 2007-02-28 18:39:49 UTC

When looking at /etc/services one can see netbios-ns, netbios-dgm and netbios-ssn being defined as "NETBIOS foo" where as this is not entirely true, because UDP and TCP are actually NetBIOS over IP (NetBT, NBT)

A more proper name would be NetBIOS over TCP/IP.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open /etc/services
2. Search for netbios-

Actual Results:  
netbios-xy      13x/xyz                         # NETBIOS XYZ Service


Expected Results:  
netbios-ns      13x/xyz                         # NetBIOS over TCP/IP XYZ Service


Actually the first part is also inaccurate, but I bet things would break if you change it.

our /etc/services reflects IANA:

maybe WONTFIX would have been better, but oh well ...
