There is a glitch when getent enumerates all services; it shows an incorrect port number. Providing a service name on invocation shows the correct port number. Examples:
$ getent services man man 9535/tcp $ getent services | grep man man 16165/tcp It looks like when all services are enumerated there is an extra or missing byte swap call to htons() or ntohs(). This can be observed by comparing the hex values of the two port numbers shown above, giving 0x253F and 0x3F25. ..mark -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
