Yes, winsock starts correctly (i.e., WSAStartup() succeeds) even with no access to these keys. Here is a table that summarizes my findings: winsock winsock2 WSAStartup notes ======= ======== ========== ===== yes yes succeeds exim: starts up no yes succeeds exim: IPv4 socket creation failed yes no fails exim: cannot find smtp/tcp service no no fails exim: cannot find smtp/tcp service no no succeeds strace exim: IPv4 socket creation failed > Does anyone have a theory for that?
