All drives were mounted binary, but I untar/gzed using (no flames please) WinZip.

[1] and [3] were not necessary. I had forgotten to turn WinZip/Options/Smart TAR LF/CR conversion _OFF_. Also, Andy Piper's local.tar.gz contains several older versions of Sergey's remote tools. In particular, my /usr/local/libexec contained from Andy's local.tar.gz: in.ftpd* in.rlogind* in.talkd* in.tftpd* in.rexecd* in.rshd* in.telnetd* from Sergey's remote.tar.gz in.ftpd.exe* in.rlogind.exe* in.talkd.exe* in.tftpd.exe* in.rexecd.exe* in.rshd.exe* in.telnetd.exe* in.uucpd.exe* I don't know if this was part of the problem, but I deleted the files from Andy's distribution. --Chuck Wilson - For help on using this list (especially unsubscribing), send a message to "gnu-win32-request AT cygnus DOT com" with one line of text: "help".
