It won't. However I don't think his problem is necessarily involved in 
locating /etc/services. Actually I don't believe he was clear at all as 
to what the exact problem was when he attempted to start the CVS server.

I added my comment because inetd runs as a service, thus outside of your 
normal login and sometimes some services have a problem locating 
cygwin1.dll.
