Just a guess, but are you running inetd as some other user (rather than something like LocalSystem)? It could be that you have a separate set of user mounts for the user that inetd runs as. Unless you are running some other Cygwin application, as soon as your first mount completes, cygwin1.dll is unloaded. Then, when you start inetd, cygwin1.dll loads again and processes the mount table based on the user that inetd runs as. However, inetd doesn't exit as a service, and thus when you run mount the next time, it uses the already loaded cygwin1.dll and "inherits" (or rather shares) the mount setup that inetd triggered. I'd check your registry for the Cygwin mount table information. If you're going to be using services, you may be better off establishing your mounts as system mounts and avoiding user mounts for consistency, unless you're very careful. -- David /-----------------------------------------------------------------------\ \ David Bolen \ E-mail: db3l AT fitlinxx DOT com / | FitLinxx, Inc. \ Phone: (203) 708-5192 | / 860 Canal Street, Stamford, CT 06902 \ Fax: (203) 316-5150 \ \-----------------------------------------------------------------------/ -- Want to unsubscribe from this list?
