He obviously did not read /usr/share/doc/Cygwin/inetutils-1.3.2.README 
or at least he did not bother to read down far enough where it says how 
to install it as a service. From what I can see that comes in at ~ line 
314 or 437 lines or 71% in. Essentially you need to do

$ /usr/sbin/inetd --install-as-service

Additionally you need to (IIRC) add C:\Cygwin\bin to your SYSTEM 
environment variable otherwise start up of inetd will fail. Oh and you 
need to reboot too.

Of course you could instead use cygrunsrv to add the service which, I 
believe, does a better job and handles the need to add C:\Cygwin\bin to 
your SYSTEM environment. In fact I believe that this 
--install-as-service option should be removed from inetd and iu-config 
should be enhanced to add the service via cygrunsrv.

Either way a "net start/stop inetd" will start/stop the service and it 
should be set to start automatically at boot up time.
