I am also having problems getting the inetd services to run.
Due to constraints poised by my employer, I guess, I'm having basic
problems meeting the requirements:

- I'm afraid I don't know what "mmc snap" means - ah, from google
I get something about microsoft management console tools ...
(I hope I won't have to become a Certified Microsoft Engineer...)
- I see that, under the control-panel -> services ->+ cygwin-inetd
I can choose between system account and 'this account'. Default is
system account. Why would I use "this account"? Why would I use
the system account, or what problems lurk for me there?
- if I try to use "this account", I must enter a password. Where
does this come from? My own password does not seem to work.
I probably won't ask these questions, except that my employer has
got the security turned down pretty tight, so trying things out isn't
very satisfactory.

When I do that, I can't create files anymore. My id is (clearly)
uid=500(Administrator) gid=513(Kein) groups=513(Kein)
- How do I get it to be otherwise? Will I have to login in twice,
once to nt and once to cygwin?
- I read somewhere that I need to put my RID in the GCOS field of
a password entry for me. I couldn't find the RID in my registry.
Where can I find it?
Thanks in advance.
