This is a sign of trouble with winsock, getservbyname() is one of the initial network calls. There must be something special with your environment... Do you perhaps have a user called "exim" in /etc/passwd ? If so, remove it. Also, do you run exim under the system account? There was a very long thread about that problem two years ago, ending with http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2003-02/msg02099.html http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2003-02/msg02189.html If you don't have an "exim" user, we are in for some similar debugging :( Pierre -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
