Adding a service on the NeXT

The NeXT uses the the "netinfo" database instead of the /etc/services file. This is managed with the /NextAdmin/NetInforManager application. Here's how to add the service "www":

Start the NetInfomanager by double-clicking on its icon.
If you are operating in a cluster, open either your local domain (/hostname) or if you have authority, the whole cluster domain (/). If you're not in a cluster, just use the domain you are presented with.
Select "services" from the browser tree.
Select "ftp" from the list of services
Select "dupliacte" from the edit menu.
Select "copy of ftp" and double-click on its icon to get theproperty editor.
Click on "name" and then on the value "copy of ftp". Change this to "www" by typing "www" in the window at the botton, and hitting return.
Click on "port", and then on the value "21". Change it to "80".
Use "Directory:Save" menu (Command/s) to save the result. You will have to give a root password or netinfo manager password.
