listen attempts to announce each name in /rc/bin/service (for the given protocol)
which in turn causes announce to translate them using cs(8), which fails for
25_block because that's neither a port number nor
is it assigned a port number by /lib/ndb/common.
that in turn is unsurprising because it's not supposed to be given a port number;
it looks like the name resulting from mv'ing tcp25 to render it unusable
but keeping the file contents available if needed later (as opposed to simply removing it).

I happened to look into my /sys/log/listen file and noticed alot
of entries. I wasn't expecting to see this because everything seems
to be working fine with my 'aux/listen tcp': I am able to send and
receive mail just fine.

Portion of entry:

localhostnl Dec 31 06:39:35 giving up on tcp!*!25_block: cs: can't translate address
localhostnl Dec 31 06:40:35 giving up on tcp!*!25_block: cs: can't translate address
localhostnl Dec 31 06:40:35 giving up on tcp!*!25_block: cs: can't translate address

For background, here is how I am set up.

	Standalone system
	After connecting to my ISP I run:
		ndb/dns -r
		aux/listen tcp
		ftpfs into my ISP's server
		run 'acme Mail'

Is this something I should ignore? I am really interested in fine tuning
this.

Bill
