Description Hanno Böck gentoo-dev

2016-08-29 08:30:14 UTC

Our /etc/services currently contains these irc ports:
irc		194/tcp				# Internet Relay Chat Protocol
irc		194/udp
ircs		994/tcp				# irc protocol over TLS/SSL
ircs		994/udp
ircd		6667/tcp			# Internet Relay Chat
ircd		6667/udp


While 994 is the original irc/tls port most servers use 6697 (bc it's a non-privileged port) and this is now also official via RFC 7194. It has an explicit name and description that should be used:

   ircs-u  6697/tcp       Internet Relay Chat via TLS/SSL

See
https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7194

We should add that to baselayout's /etc/services.
