Correct. It uses the services file of the OS:
9x/ME: ${WINDIR}\\SERVICES
NT/W2K: ${SYSTEMROOT}\\system32\\drivers\\etc\\services
However, you can create a convenience link in /etc if you like.
E.g. for 9x/ME:
ln -s /cygdrive/c/WINDOWS/SERVICES /etc/services
It's easier if you want to edit the file.

It's Ci- as in Cinema.
