Re: [9front] File sharing with Windows

What does the exclamation point at the start of the service file name do?

I don't see that documented in the man page for listen, and looking at 
/rc/bin/service on my own system, it is present on more files than not, 
but there are a few which do not have it.

When I try to telnet to one of those ports, the ones with the 
exclamation points do not allow the connection, but the ones without 
them do, which leads me to believe that it is effectively disabling 
those services, so wouldn't !tcp445 need to be renamed to remove the 
exclamation point for this to work?
