2. For the service that you are installing, check the file to see if it has the appropriate entry. (Each chapter in
the remainder of this manual has this information.) If not, enter the line in the file using the “Editing
Tips” section, next, as a guideline.

Editing Tips
When you are editing the services file, use the following information to enter the information correctly.
• If you find the line that describes the service you are configuring, but it has been “commented out” (that
is, preceded by a pound sign, #), the service has not yet been enabled. To enable it, simply delete the
pound sign and any spaces that precede the service name.
• If you need to type the line into the file:
— use only lower case characters
— enter the service name in the first column without any leading spaces
— separate the individual fields on the line with any number of blanks or tab characters to improve
readability
