The NUT project uses port 3493 to receive traffic to the upsd server. Unlike the
protocols http (80) and https (443), NUT has no specific port for encrypted
traffic. For the upsdTLS.py daemon. I squatted port 563, but it would be much
better to have an officially assigned port.
Port 3494 was at one time assigned to
ibm3494 3494/tcp # IBM 3494 [Jeffrey_Pilch]
ibm3494 3494/udp # IBM 3494 [Jeffrey_Pilch]
The IBM 3494 is a huge tape cartridge device. Over 6000 cartridges at a time!
It was announced 1995, withdrawn from marketing 2006 and service was
discontinued 2018.
I see that the port 3494 has disappeared from /etc/services in Debian 9. Is it
possible to aquire the port for NUT?
