Where does InetUtils require a /etc/services? POSIX doesn't require a /etc/services file as far as I recall. I can't find any references to /etc/services except for in the InetUtils manual. If InetUtils really require a /etc/services file I think we should document that. I'd prefer if there were no such requirement though. /Simon
