I just thought of another idea and that would be to have a special
keyword in /etc/services that tells libc NOT to check /etc/defaults/services
at all. e.g. something like:
DISABLE /etc/defaults/services
or, for compatibility with older scripts,
##DISABLE /etc/defaults/services
or something like that. Just a thought.
