Hi all,

As the well-known 433 port IANA registry entry is not obvious, it will soon be updated.
  http://www.iana.org/assignments/service-names-port-numbers/service-names-port-numbers.xhtml?search=433

Related to NNTP, we currently have:

Service Name    Port Number    Transport Protocol    Description    Assignee   Contact
nntp    119    tcp    Network News Transfer Protocol    [Phil_Lapsley]   [Phil_Lapsley]
nntp    119    udp    Network News Transfer Protocol    [Phil_Lapsley]   [Phil_Lapsley]
nnsp    433    tcp    NNSP    [Rob_Robertson]    [Rob_Robertson]
nnsp    433    udp    NNSP    [Rob_Robertson]    [Rob_Robertson]
nntps    563    tcp    nntp protocol over TLS/SSL (was snntp)   [Kipp_E_B_Hickman_2]    [Kipp_E_B_Hickman_2]
nntps    563    udp    nntp protocol over TLS/SSL (was snntp)   [Kipp_E_B_Hickman_2]    [Kipp_E_B_Hickman_2]

An IESG Management Item will be added to these ports (the assignees are indeed no longer reachable).
It is planned that port 433 will be named "Network News Streaming Protocol (NNTP for transit servers)".

A reference to RFC 3977 will also be added to ports 119 and 433.
And RFC 4642 (TLS with NNTP) to port 563.
