Nyet!!!  /etc/services is basically for the name/number translation for IP
port numbers.  It's presence and contents allows a user to do this:

    	telnet localhost smtp

without knowing that smtp is port 25.  You're probably thinking of
/etc/inetd.conf but what you suggest won't work since sendmail is
a daemon that's generally started on it's own, not by 'inetd(8)'. 
OK?  Cool!
