svnbook: svnserve and udp?
Hi,
in the svnbook on page 102 there are the two lines you have to add to
your /etc/services, so the subversion port 3690 can be identified by
servicename svn. In the book they also add an entry for port 3690 on udp
- but a few lines below they add only a tcp entry to the /etc/inetd.conf.
Is the udp-service-entry just for fun or can svnserve handle udp-traffic
[i don't think so] (or is it a feature for the future?) ?
Greetings
Tobias

It also helps prevent anyone from nabbing the other port behind your back
for something and causing endless firewall and filtter confusion.

Nah, it's just that when you reserve a well known port the IANA gives
you both TCP and UDP. svnserve only works over TCP, and there are no
plans that I know of to change that.
