Does it work if you comment out that call? php3/functions/mysql.c:259: if ((serv_ptr = getservbyname("mysql", "tcp"))) { It's the only place in PHP3 where getservbyname is called. Not compiling MySQL in cures the problem. Haven't yet tested if I just comment a few lines out, but I'm quite sure it would fix the problem. I'll test it first thing in the morning (have to ge some sleep finally). Oh, by the way: I did another test just a minute ago. Changing a few lines in /etc/nsswitch.conf also cures the problem... old: protocols: db files services: db files new: protocols: files services: files and dbopen() wasn't called...
