Hi,

I used to have a working telnetd with cygwin-b20 and srvany. Now I
completely reinstalled cygnus with from the "latest" and installed Cygwin
inetd using inetd --install-as-service. I can't log in to any account, I go
through user/password prompt fine, but it doesn't seem to start the shell.
Instead,
telnetd closes the connection. There are no entries in the event log.

I made sure that /bin/sh exists by copying bash.exe into sh.exe. Also, my U-
entry seems fine and I tried with and without it. Anyway, the authentication
doesn't seem to be a problem because I don't get "login incorrect", I only
get "connection closed"

What could be the problem?

I'd really appreciate your help.
Thanks,
Nick.
