Everything was working fine in March-April. Then I took a break from the NT development and concentrated on UNIX. In the meantime, I downloaded new releases of inetutils (and other modules) as they became available and installed them without fanfare. Unfortunately, I didn't test the ftp server software and "dumbly" assumed it would work as it always had. GOTCHA!!!!!!!! When I attempted to incorporate the NT work I had earlier accomplished into the near finished project, I was in for a nasty surprise. NT FTP NO LONGER WORKED. After some research through the mail archives, I found this post: ###################################################### ###################################################### ###################################################### Re: [ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: inetutils-1.3.2-13 To: Corinna Vinschen Subject: Re: [ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: inetutils-1.3.2-13 From: "Gerrit P.

Yes, sure am I using ntsec, as systemwide Variable and also in cygwin.bat: 1: inetd got no TTY: $ ps -e PID PPID PGID WINPID TTY UID STIME COMMAND 433 1 433 433 1 500 22:33:33 /usr/bin/bash 390 433 390 532 1 500 22:39:19 /usr/local/bin/perl 284 1 284 284 0 500 22:54:14 /usr/bin/bash 528 1 528 528 ? 18 22:55:03 /usr/sbin/inetd 242 528 528 242 ? 18 22:55:15 /usr/sbin/inetd 481 284 481 412 0 500 22:55:21 /usr/bin/ps 2: it is UID 18 3: CYGWIN is: $ set [...] CYGWIN=$'binmode tty ntea ntsec title case_check:strict' [...] 4: After login with telnet, i'm User SYSTEM, BASH=/bin/sh and NO CYGWIN at all, login to ftpd fails (failed not before upgrade).

Hmm, i never turn off ntsec if not trying a new port of some cute software. gph ###################################################### ###################################################### ###################################################### This is precisely the problem I am having. And I am using the very latest release inetutils-1.3.2-14. Is there something I'm missing? If this is still an ongoing problem, then is it possible to get a copy of inetutils that didn't have this problem? I do not have backups of the distribution code from March-April. (I wish I did!) I'm really under the gun here. Thanks Brian Kelly -- This electronic message contains information that may be legally confidential and/or privileged.
