I'm surprised that an entry in /etc/services is required. Everything 
uses port numbers internally, and doesn't look things up in 
/etc/services.

Also, in ListenAddresses, inet:hostname is the only acceptable format 
and the "inet:" is always required. (You can also listen on UNIX 
sockets by using "unix:filename", but this is of limited use.)
