Yes, you can debug the process by giving the Win32 native PID on
the command line to attach to the process. Two problems:

- You can't switch to another process (for example from debugging
  `inetd' to debugging the child process `rshd'.

- You can't detach a process under Win32. After exiting the debugger,
  the debugged process will be exited as well.

Another way is to add debug output to rshd to encircle the problem.

man inetd
