>Description:
The file /etc/services is periodically corrupted at the same place with no aparent reason.

hp-collector	381/tcp	   #hp performance data collector
hp-collector	381/udp	   #hp *<- corruption starts at this point

Corruption ends here ->meter		570/udp


The file date and size are not altered.

>How-To-Repeat:
I have not been able to do that. Hacking attempt?
>Fix:
Overwrite /etc/services with a known-good backup copy and reboot.
Maybe there is no need to reboot, if you know how to make the system
read again the good /etc/services. I am no Unix expert, sorry.

State-Changed-Why:  
Bad memory perhaps?  Disk?  Forced fsck to mark clean?  Just an unlucky 
crash?  Too many possibilities, very few of them software.
