What other people with problems starting these service can try is to add a dependency to another service as e.g. tcpip. This could positively influence the load order of the services. Perhaps they are just started too early. > I do notice that while sshd has cygrunsrv as the executable, inetd lists > itself (c:\cygwin\usr\sbin\inetd.exe) as the executable to be started as a > service. Is this the way it's supposed to be? Shouldn't inetd also use > cygrunsrv? Inetd has been ported many moons before cygrunsrv came to existence. So it has the NT service handling code builtin. It's a good question, though. I'm not quite sure if we shouldn't better revert these NT service stuff from inetd and use cygrunsrv to start it. It's way cleaner a solution.
