The search function is temporarily disabled for the archives. I know these questions are answered in the archives somewhere. Please feel free to point me to documentation. Give me advice today and you help me today. Give me a pointer to documentation and you help me for life. Or is that fish. ;) On Sergey's web page he says: > How to run inetd: > ... > Windows NT: remove "Simple TCP/IP services" (if any) - inetd have the same > functionality built-in. > > Start /usr/local/sbin/inetd as a service using srvany utility from Windows NT > Resource Kit, or freeware AutoexNT or invoker utility.

You will have no easy ability to stop inetd > service running without -d option (kill from resource kit will help you). Ok so far. > The account of a service must have a valid cygwin's mount table. 1) How is the account of a service determined. I see no reference to it in the service control. Should I create a special account just for inetd? Does this help me control security? Or do I just use the administrators account? I will be up 24x7 so security will be an important issue. 2) How do I create mount tables for various accounts? Actually what I really want to know is where is the cygwin mount behavior documented. I have been meaning to figure out how to switch to binary mounts anyway. So far I have a vanilla install with whatever mount table the install gave me. Since I have only a large C: drive this works but is probably not optimal. 3) As long as I am asking, where is the documentation for the cygwin32 environment variables? I see them mentioned often on this list but I have never seen the doc. 4) Is this the same inetd package that comes with linux. Can I use that doc to figure out configuration issues? Thanks and sorry for cluttering the bandwidth with previously answered questions.
