How to manage the Ephemeral ports in a seperate file ?

Question

Answer 1

What is it you want to manage with the ephemeral ports in a separate file? You want to adjust the range of the ephemeral ports perhaps? Most flavors of Unix recommend leaving this alone as the default settings are usually adequate. But if you want to change this, it depends on your flavor of Unix. I have done it in Solaris, using the ndd utility to change the values for smallest and largets "anonymous" ports. In many versions of Linux, you can modify the file ip_local_port_range. Maybe this link below will help, not sure exactly what you're trying to do or on what Unix platform. Good luck.
