To rectify these problems I took two steps: 1) I had to add user rights as specified at the bottom of Sergey's home page to the user that was used to start up the inetd service. 2) I had to ensure that I had a valid /etc/passwd and /etc/group and, in my case, they had to be UNIX type files with only linefeeds and not DOS type files with lines feeds and carriage returns. After I made these two changes I was able to log in from any of our UNIX hosts as well as other NT work stations. I hope this helps, Mike Benzinger P.S. I was able to get VIM 5.0l to compile and run after applying the patches made by Chris Faylor in version 5.0h and the modification to vim.h that I found. After this VIM seems to be rolling along fairly nicely except for the fact that at work I am experiencing some problems with "dd" and "j" not updating the screen when deleting a line or scrolling at the bottom of the screen.
