(Is this statement correct?) Correct. It uses the services file of the OS: 9x/ME: ${WINDIR}\\SERVICES NT/W2K: ${SYSTEMROOT}\\system32\\drivers\\etc\\services However, you can create a convenience link in /etc if you like. E.g. for 9x/ME: ln -s /cygdrive/c/WINDOWS/SERVICES /etc/services It's easier if you want to edit the file. > P.S. BTW, how does one pronounce Cygwin? Is it Cy- as in cyborg? It's Ci- as in Cinema.
