> Bingo. That would explain why it couldn't open the database files even
with proper permissions...why it couldn't find the "smtp" service...why it
couldn't find the "root" alias...

the smtp service bit refers to ur /etc/services file if you are trying to
secure ur box by stopping services in inetd.conf fine, but never remove
entries from /etc/services as a lot of apps use this to look up ports for
standard services.
put the entry in that file that I suggested and that will stop that
particular problem.

> Now, since the box is a Netwinder, it has an ARM processor and needs to
use precompiled kernels. Is there any way to increase the file descriptors
without messing with the kernel? (probably the wrong place to ask...but
hey..)

not knowing what os a Netwinder runs there is prob some files in
/proc/sys/fs/ that determine how many files you can have open on your box
at once. (most likely a file called file-max) though u will have to check
this out. google is ur best bet :)
