    You will only have to edit /etc/services file if you i.e. want to let
    run a daemon process on an unspecified port which itself reads from
    services. To give you an example: on my router I am running the rcapid
    on port 2661, controlled through xinetd. As the xinetd checks the
    service ports from the services port I had to include the corresponding
    line for port 2661 TCP in the /etc/services file.
    A different case might be that you for serious reasons want to change
    the port on which a defined services has to run. Then you must modify
    the entry in the services file too. But this is typically a very rare
    case. Nothing you should think over as a beginner :)
