The telnetd -D report info looks good up until the point where it gives the error: "no such file: /bin/login". My paths in bash all look link /cygdrive/c/.....

I remember seeing something about there being a different way to 
setup inetd and other such things that need /etc/passwd and /etc/group 
because Win95/98 don't handle the user/security stuff the same way 
as NT/2000. Try searching google for 

inetd win98 site:cygwin.com

Unzipping downloads by hand is "not recommended" (especially if you 
don't download ALL the packages). You should use setup.exe to download 
ALL the packages to a local directory, and then use setup.exe to install
from that local directory.
