Actually, accepts is better. Although it isn’t clear by itself, the sentence fragment is describing the -a option, which is singular, not plural. Here’s the sentence in full context:

                                             source packet must belong to.  A
                                             service of `*' accepts UDP
                                             packets from any source port.

Thanks,
