Is there a reference regarding the inetd configuration and password setup 
for Cygwin ? I've installed the current version (which uname reports as 
1.3.11).

At issue:

1. The /etc/inetd.conf seems conventional, but there is no /etc/services 
file installed, or documentation for port assignments. Is there some other 
file or method to re-assign TCP ports or new services ? If /etc/services 
isn't used, what is the correct configuration file ?

2. There is no longer a man page for /bin/passwd -- only a page for the 
openssl front end. Neither seems to work to change a user password and allow 
that user to log-in via the distribution in.telnetd or in.ftpd via 
/bin/passwd, or by using openssl passwd -crypt and manually adding the 
result to /etc/passwd.

3. Compiling other ftpd source code and substituting it for the in.ftpd in 
/etc/causes a core dump on getpeername() or getsockname().

Thanks,

Phil Smith
