Two apparent bugs.

1)  Alpha 4 of the ra clients, ra, and ragator at least, have changed their 
format.  Witness:

versus, the old client...

 you'll note above, that the protocol column is shifted to the right if there 
are flag values to print... if not, then the flag column for that flow does 
not exist.  This is a change from the ra output (using the same conf file), of 
the older ra.


  2)  You'll notice in the above output from the first (alpha clients), that 
the name of the domain service is listed, not the port...  even telling the 
alpha client -nn, does not change the protocols from being named (ie: still 
names them), not the application.
