OK, I'm baffled.

We've been running KIP and CAP for some time, with no problems. A few
weeks ago one of the other sys admins cleaned up /etc/services, which
had gotten rather crufty; in the process, he installed the Appletalk
protocol entries, which were not previously there. Now CAP no longer
works. If I run atis as me, it complains that it can't bind 202 and
204 (permission denied); if I run it as root, it doesn't complain at
all, but it doesn't function at all, either. (In a subsidiary
weirdness, it occasionally fails to get echo from services and claims
to bind 202 and 722, but that may be a YP bug in SunOS4.1; it
certainly is not the main problem.) If I take the entries out of
services, it binds everything fine in the 700's, and functions
perfectly.  Any clues? I'm running the most recent version on 
columbia, with all patches; it fails to work equally on a Sun 3
running SunOS4.0.3 and on a Sun 4 running SunOS4.1.
