Actually, the /etc/services file has nothing to do with it. All
services of type TCP _defined_within_FW-1_ are added to the tcp_services
table used in the macro listed above. A default FW-1 install will
include a certain number of these but the list changes with the addition
or removal of TCP service definitions in the rule base. The behavior of
the inspect code can also be modified to make it as strict or open as
desired.
