Christopher,

I just tried this with success (telneting to locahost and running
c:\cygwin\cygwin.bat using the MS commandline telnet program & NTLM auth
and using SecureCRT and plaintext auth and I also tried it telneting
from my openbsd box).  Before trying to start cygwin, see what your
environment (variables) look like (run: set).  See what your path looks
like (run: path).  Is Cygwin\bin in your path?

-ME

Subject: Starting cygwin from a telnet session


-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

When I try to start cygwin.bat from a telnet session (using Microsoft's
telnet server under Win2000), I get the following error:

- ------------------------------------------
D:\cygwin>cygwin
      0 [main] bash 980 stdio_init: couldn't make stderr distinct from
stdout
bash.exe: warning: could not find /tmp, please create! bash-2.05$ pwd
/usr/bin bash-2.05$
- ------------------------------------------

I checked and /tmp does in fact exist.  Also, as noted by `pwd`, I get
dropped off in /usr/bin.  It doesn't seem like /etc/profile get's
executed because PS1='[\u:\w]\\$ '  This only happens, I believe, when
I'm logged in as the Administrator through telnet.  My other
(normal) users don't experience this problem.

Any way around this?
