I just installed the latest inetutils, and they seem mainly to be running.
Just a couple of questions:

1) telnetd: This works using sh as the shell. However, I'd like to use 4nt
as the shell, rather than /bin/sh. I edited passwd, and replaced "/bin/sh"
with "/cygdrive/c/4nt/4nt.exe". Now, however, when I telnet to my machine,
I'm immediately logged off, as in:

You are successfully logged in to this ftp server!!!
Connection closed by foreign host.

How can I get 4nt.exe to be used as the login shell?

Followon - after manually editing passwd again using EMACS, putting /bin/sh
back again, it still doesn't work until I run mkpasswd again. What's going
on here?

2) ftpd: I can log in, and change directories fine, but when I type "dir" or
"ls", nothing actually appears on the screen. For example,

ftp> dir
200 PORT command successful.
150 Opening ASCII mode data connection for '/bin/ls'.
226 Transfer complete.
ftp>

When I type "set" at a command prompt, I see

CYGWIN=binmode tty ntsec

3) talk: Always gives the following error:

[c:\]talk user AT machine
Error opening terminal: cygwin.

Thanks for any help.
