Thorsten,
I'm sorry, but that contradicts my own experience. I recently set up
Cygwin on a Windows XP system. I invoked "inetd --install-as-service"
and found that it would not start. I then went to the Environment
control panel, added the Cygwin bin to the system-wide PATH and
subsequently the "CYGWIN inetd" started up and functioned just fine.
