Yes my /etc/passwd gid is represented in /etc/group:
adefaria:grep adefaria /etc/passwd
adefaria:*:1370:513:Andrew
DeFaria,U-SALIRA\adefaria,S-1-5-21-1957994488-1035525444-725345543-1370:/home/adefaria:/bin/bash

That's what I thought.

Not really!
adefaria:grep ssh /dev/c/WINDOWS/system32/drivers/etc/Services
ssh 22/tcp #SSH Remote Login
Protocol
ssh 22/udp #SSH Remote Login
Protocol
As you can see I do have an ssh entry in my system's services file. But
my question was about telnet (rlogin, ftp, etc). And the Event Viewer
had errors for each service in /etc/inetd.conf. I just picked one
(unfortunately I picked ssh - I should have grabbed the telnet one) to
paste here. Note that I remapped the /cygdrive prefix to /dev.
Could it be that 1.3.12 is having some problem finding my system's
services file? Again, this use to work just find until I updated to
1.3.12. I have not changed the location of my system's services file nor
my cygdrive prefix (it's been set to /dev since around 1.3.5 or so).
