Except I applied your first patch this morning, so have to work out the 
delta between them...

A function call, you mean?

   man 5 services
   man 3 getservbyname

Not entirely sure it's worth it, 95% of them are pointless. (Quote of 
the day? Message send protocol? Appletalk zoneinfo?) When I went through 
to look for "interesting" services, I came up with:

struct services {
   char *name;
   unsigned short port;
} services[] = {
   {"ftp", 21}, {"ssh", 22}, {"telnet", 23}, {"smtp", 25},
   {"mail", 25}, {"whois", 43}, {"domain", 53}, {"bootps", 67},
   {"bootpc", 68}, {"tftp", 69}, {"finger", 79}, {"http", 80},
   {"kerberos", 88}, {"pop3", 110}, {"sftp", 115}, {"ntp", 123},
   {"snmp", 161}, {"bgp", 179}, {"irc", 194}, {"imap3", 220},
   {"ldap", 389}, {"https", 443}, {"rsync", 873}, {"ftps", 990},
   {"pop3s", 995}
};
