This is greatly appreciated. Second, contrary to what you say in your README file, /usr/doc/Cygwin/inetutils-1.3.2.README, I cannot get rsh, rlogin and talk to work. But I can get telnet and ftp to work. Is there some configuration trick that I am missing? Here is a demo of what works and what doesn't. The Windows machine I am using is called "woodlands.ovpit.indiana.edu" and it runs Microsoft Windows 2000 5.00.2195 Service Pack 2. My version of Cygwin is: gustav@woodlands $ uname -a CYGWIN_NT-5.0 WOODLANDS 1.3.2(0.39/3/2) 2001-05-20 23:28 i686 unknown gustav@woodlands $ I have followed your instructions in the README, i.e., 1) I have run "iu-config"; 2) I have run "inetd --install-as-service" as the "administrator"; 3) I have linked cygwin1.dll to /usr/sbin, because this is where inetd.exe looks for it; 4) I have run "net start inetd" as the "administrator"; At this stage I get telnet and ftp working. Beige, from which I make the connection, is a Solaris-2.6 server: gustav@beige:../gustav 13:51:23 !8 $ telnet woodlands Trying 129.79.15.18... Connected to woodlands.ovpit.indiana.edu.

Is there something special I should do with my Cygwin /etc/passwd entry? At present it looks as follows: gustav@woodlands $ grep gustav /etc/passwd gustav:*:1000:513:Zdzislaw Meglicki,S-1-5-21-2058559853-879773387-1169164804-1000:/home/gustav:/bin/bash gustav@woodlands $ Best regards, Gustav Zdzislaw (Gustav) Meglicki, gustav@indiana.edu, Indiana University, Office of the Vice President for Information Technology, 601 E.
