Thank you Gerrit Give me some more light pls.

I'm on win2k professional.
I again ran 'iu-config' under /etc, and the response was (i didn't see the
prompt if install inetd as a service)

Administrator AT ALLELUJA /cygdrive/c/cygwin/etc
$ iu-config
Overwrite existing /etc/ftpusers file? (yes/no) yes
Creating default /etc/ftpusers file
Overwrite existing /etc/ftpwelcome file? (yes/no) yes
Creating default /etc/ftpwelcome file
Overwrite existing /etc/inetd.conf file? (yes/no) yes
Creating default /etc/inetd.conf file
Overwrite existing /etc/motd file? (yes/no) yes
Creating default /etc/motd file
Overwrite existing /etc/shells file? (yes/no) yes
Creating default /etc/shells file

Configuration finished. Have fun!

Administrator AT ALLELUJA /cygdrive/c/cygwin/etc
$ inetd --install-as-service
bash: inetd: command not found

Administrator AT ALLELUJA /cygdrive/c/cygwin/etc
$

What do they really mean? I haven't installed 'inetd' yet or other required
packages?

> Start the inetd service, then:
how to start it? (under which folder, and what command)

> login now with your username and password.
my windows usrname/passwd or something else?
