Thanks for the hint on that... I had checked /etc/protocols and didn't even think about checking nsswitch.conf. It was set to look at the name services only for protocols. Once I updated the nsswitch.conf line, it worked.

If it's files, is /etc/protocols intact? If not, does whatever service nsswitch points to have definitions for icmp, tcp, udp, etc.?
