Greetings. While setting qmail and tcpserver following this bit of documentation: http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/home-router-howto.xml the tcpserver would constantly fail out saying it couldn't figure out what smtp port was: tcpserver: fatal: unable to figure out port number for smtp yet if I start tcpserver by hand and avoid svscan entirely it works I think /service + svscan etc etc isn't setup right. The upstream docs here appear to be correct: http://www.palomine.net/qmail/selectiverelay.html
the only reason it should give "tcpserver: fatal: unable to figure out port number for smtp" is that your /etc/services is borked go and check it. perhaps you've changed nsswitch?
