In local.freebsd.questions you write:

>Hi,

>When I boot anything which uses sockets will not run, this includes syslogd
>(but -s-s makes i work) and simple things like ftp. The error it reports is:

>  "servname not supported for ai_socktype"

>That error is given by ftp, and syslogd when in debug mode. What would cause

If the "ftp" service cannot be found in /etc/services, you'd get this.
Or if /etc/services is unreadable or non-existent.
