When I do netstat -l, my service ports don't resolve to names. The currently most troubling outcome is that exim can't find port 25. 2002-10-15 18:08:01 181R0O-0001Kk-00 TCP service "smtp" not found /etc/services is in place and correct (I overwrote it from a working machine to be sure). libc6-dev, net-tools, bind9, inetd are all installed and seem to be working fine except for the inability to getservbyname or getservbyport. /usr/include/netdb.h has _PATH_SERVICES pointed to /etc/services, as it should. My recent activity that most likely caused this is the repeated install and removal of sourceforge and much of its dependancy tree (kept getting ldap and libapache-mod-ssl settings wrong): Depends: apache (>= 1.3.9) | apache-ssl (>= 1.3.9), libapache-mod-ssl | apache-ssl, php4, php4-pgsql, php4-gd, php4-cgi, php4-ldap, postgresql (>= 7.1.2), perl, perl-suid, libdbi-perl, libdbd-pg-perl, debianutils (>= 1.7), debconf (>= 0.5.00), ssh, libnss-ldap, bind9, slapd (>= 2.0.23-3), ldap-utils, exim | exim-tls, libpam-ldap, cvs, mailman, proftpd, elvis | nvi | vim, rcs Any thoughts? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- "Any data that's public, and that Google can see, is hardly worth storing and organizing.
