I had a similar problem with inetd changing mount points. You may have
some leftovers from a previous installtion of cygwin; see
http://sourceware.cygnus.com/ml/cygwin/2000-05/msg00844.html.
BTW, I'm also a bit perplexed about /bin vs. /usr/bin ... There's a
discussion about it starting at about this message
http://sourceware.cygnus.com/ml/cygwin-developers/2000-02/msg00132.html
(on the cygwin-developers list). I've read most of what I could find
about the 'FS layout', but I didn't get any wiser. So I continue to use
identity mounts,
Device Directory Type Flags
I: / system binmode
C: /c system binmode
D: /d system binmode
and I install distribution tarballs by untar'ing myself. Works OK for
me.
kind regards
Peter Ring

Does this seem right? why does starting inetd reset mount points?
C:\>mount
Device Directory Type Flags
c:\cygwin\etc /etc user textmode
c:\cygwin\tmp /tmp user textmode
c:\cygwin\usr /usr user textmode
c:\cygwin\bin /usr/bin user textmode
c:\cygwin\lib /usr/lib user textmode
c:\cygwin\var /var user textmode
c:\cygwin / user textmode
C:\>net start inetd
The CYGWIN inetd service is starting.
The CYGWIN inetd service was started successfully.
C:\>mount
Device Directory Type Flags
C: / user textmode

Tsk, tsk, tsk. All of that work for not. Based on what you currently
have
your mount table should be:
c:\cygwin / user textmode
c:\cygwin\bin /usr/bin user textmode
c:\cygwin\lib /usr/lib user textmode
