Eventually I managed to get inetd to start as a service but with complaints from the Services Applet. I used NT Resource Kit's SRVINSTW.EXE to install the service with name inetd. It shows up in the Services applet. I set it up to start as 'LocalSystem' user, following Sergey's advice though I added the required rights to the Administrator account and tried that as well. The service starts, as witnessed by the 'netstat -an' and the ability to telnet to the machine however the Services Applet, when one presses the 'start' button, 'thinks' for a long time and eventually comes back with 'Could not start the inetd service on \\zcat', followed by 'Error 2186: The service is not responding to the control function'. I tried with the '-d' in the parameters box and without, both using LocalSystem and Administrator. Same results. I scoured the archives for tips/hints/whatnots to no avail. Sure enough, there are plenty of messages relating to the remote suite however most of the start with 'I have inetd starting as NT service ...' :-) which is a bit further than I can get. As I say it is working, sort of, but bewfore I set it up to start 'automatic' I would like to see it behave. Also, where do I put the '-d' option ? There appears to be no place to put it in the srvinstw.exe's dialog boxes. Can someone or more please give me a hint or two ? TIA ------------------ Cheers ...
