The non-standard location in NixOS was indeed not an issue here, netstat was in PATH. inetd failed to start due to three reasons: - environment variable USER is not set in the standard nix builders - inetd needs /etc/protocols be available, and as we are building all packages in a chroot this wasn't available - ifconfig was not in PATH as it is in <nettools>/sbin The tests now run successfully. Thanks for the help! greetings, Rob -- Rob Vermaas [email] rob.verm...@gmail.com
