I wish you had addressed my primary question with the similar wit...
Whatever the mount/mapping are doing, somehow, they are different for
the same inetd.exe depending on whether it starts as a service or from
command line.
The actual mapping:
C:\cygwin\bin on /usr/bin type user (binmode)
C:\cygwin\lib on /usr/lib type user (binmode)
C:\cygwin on / type user (binmode)
does not suggest any trouble, does it? Why is the inetd.conf not found,
even though both -- the cmd's ``dir'' and CygWin's ls confirm its presense:
C:\>dir C:\cygwin\etc\inetd.conf
Volume in drive C has no label.
Volume Serial Number is 07D1-0517
Directory of C:\cygwin\etc
12/16/2002 02:01p 1,973 inetd.conf
1 File(s) 1,973 bytes
0 Dir(s) 23,927,029,760 bytes free
mteterin AT doofus:~ (439) ls -l /etc/inetd.conf
-rw-r--r-- 1 mteterin unknown 1973 Dec 16 14:01 /etc/inetd.conf
? Thank you,
