I've noticed that when I update a working xinetd system (I mean telnetd 
and ftpd and others - all work) all the available daemon are not working 
after that

when i try to telnet localhost iget the below result

netstat -an | grep 23
   TCP    0.0.0.0:23             0.0.0.0:0              LISTENING


Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to eranc.ad.checkpoint.com.
Escape character is '^]'.
Connection closed by foreign host.


now i must mention that before cygwin update i've checked telnet and it
worked for me


is there any fix for it ?
