You already posted this (or something close enough to it):
<http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2004-07/msg00573.html>.
It was replied to: <http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2004-07/msg00574.html>.

Please attach the output of "cygcheck -svr" on your system.  Also, please
show the output of "ls -l /etc/protocols", preferably from the two
invocations of the script.
