Well, I think we should really match a little more then just a plain grep.


grep -E '^[^#]+' services | while read line; do
   patt=`echo $line | sed -re 's%#.*%%' | sed -re 's%[ \t]+%\\s\+%' | 
sed -re 's%\+%\\\+%' `
   grep -i -q -E "$patt" /etc/services || echo "$line"
done


This will take all non-starting-with-# lines, make a pattern out of them 
  ("ftp 21/tcp # ftp" = "ftp\s+21/tcp") and match it in services.

I only see a + that will mess up the pattern and i dont think we will 
get alot of . * [] in the services.
