Locus PC-Interface Net Map Server

Registered to the Locus PC-Interface net map server; a dead 1980s product.

TCP IANA registry

Description

IANA lists port 125 as locus-map, the Locus PC-Interface Net Map Server, from Locus Computing's PC-Interface product that let DOS PCs use Unix file and print services. The company and the product are long gone and no specification was published. The registration persists in /etc/services, so scanners print the name without evidence. Anything listening on 125 today is unrelated to Locus.

Expose with care

The service name is a fossil; identify the actual listener before making any exposure decision.
