Dear Cygwin,
First, many, many thanks for having made the effort to port inetutils
to Cygwin. This is greatly appreciated.
Second, contrary to what you say in your README file,
/usr/doc/Cygwin/inetutils-1.3.2.README, I cannot get rsh, rlogin and
talk to work. But I can get telnet and ftp to work. Is there some
configuration trick that I am missing?
Here is a demo of what works and what doesn't.
The Windows machine I am using is called "woodlands.ovpit.indiana.edu"
and it runs Microsoft Windows 2000 5.00.2195 Service Pack 2. My
version of Cygwin is:
gustav AT woodlands $ uname -a
CYGWIN_NT-5.0 WOODLANDS 1.3.2(0.39/3/2) 2001-05-20 23:28 i686 unknown
gustav AT woodlands $
I have followed your instructions in the README, i.e.,
1) I have run "iu-config";
2) I have run "inetd --install-as-service" as the "administrator";
3) I have linked cygwin1.dll to /usr/sbin, because this is where
inetd.exe looks for it;
4) I have run "net start inetd" as the "administrator";
At this stage I get telnet and ftp working. Beige, from which I make
the connection, is a Solaris-2.6 server:
gustav AT beige:../gustav 13:51:23 !8 $ telnet woodlands
Trying 129.79.15.18...

But for rsh and rlogin the connection does not work:

However, interstingly, the following has some effect, which to me suggests
a bug:
gustav AT beige:../gustav 13:58:03 !20 $ rlogin -l gustav AT woodlands woodlands

Observe that the connection is obtained only on the second attempt, i.e.,
the first time I type password, I get rejected. This is not a typo. This
happens every time I try it. And ONLY when I use this incorrect call to
rlogin: "rlogin -l gustav AT woodlands woodlands".
Is there something special I should do with my Cygwin /etc/passwd entry?
At present it looks as follows:
gustav AT woodlands $ grep gustav /etc/passwd
gustav:*:1000:513:Zdzislaw Meglicki,S-1-5-21-2058559853-879773387-1169164804-1000:/home/gustav:/bin/bash
gustav AT woodlands $
