This is the official list, and should replace the current contents of
/etc/services:

A number of people have pointed out that there is a conflict between
AFS and IBM Xstations regarding the use of UDP port 7000.  The Xstation
tries to use this port for booting.

We have discussed this problem with IBM and there is an easy solution.
Simply enter the ports used by AFS (7000 - 7009) into /etc/services
and the IBM Xstations will not use those ports.

Also,  Transarc has registered our uses of ports 7000 - 7009 with IANA
(Internet Assigned Numbers Authority), an office of the Internet Activities
Board.  The ports and their uses are as follows:

afs3-fileserver 7000/udp       # file server itself
afs3-callback   7001/udp       # callbacks to cache managers
afs3-prserver   7002/udp       # users & groups database
afs3-vlserver   7003/udp       # volume location database
afs3-kaserver   7004/udp       # AFS/Kerberos authentication service
afs3-volser     7005/udp       # volume managment server
afs3-errors     7006/udp       # error interpretation service
afs3-bos        7007/udp       # basic overseer process
afs3-update     7008/udp       # server-to-server updater
afs3-rmtsys     7009/udp       # remote cache manager service
