  I agree that must be a check for port 0 in add_rule_net_service(), 
cause unlike most port numbers, port 0 is a reserved port in TCP/IP 
networking, meaning that it should not be used in TCP or UDP messages.
Also network traffic sent across the internet to hosts listening on port 
0 might be generated from network attackers or accidentally by 
applications programmed incorrectly.

  Ok. I got it. Thanks.
