Subject: Services Not Resolving?
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?
