What does getservbyname ("ftp", "tcp") return? If it returns NULL, we
need to deal with it, but if it hangs or takes a lot of time to timeout
you may want to have a small /etc/nsswitch.conf or similar.
However, given that InetUtils builds fine (and passes self-checks) I
believe there is no problem either on the InetUtils or NixOS side.
