Sorry, I meant 'netserver' command. There is no netserver4 installed, right

Can I add an entry with any port number ?

This is where I am not sure how it should be done. Can you attach the
config

are
talking of default_config.xml file.

I am trying on 8-way PPC64 systems, I guess that should be OK.
