Subject: telnetd doesn't give login: prompt
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1"

I (still) can't use telnet for my NT box.  The test I'm stuck on is when I try to
run telnetd (i.e. without using inetd).

In one window I run:

    $ /usr/sbin/in.telnetd -debug

and in another I run:

    $ telnet $(uname -n)

I get the following:

Trying 139.21.89.82...
Connected to MYHOST AT mycompany DOT de.
Escape character is '^]'.
Password:

that is, I'm prompted for a password without first having entered my login-id.
Naturally, no password works.  Once I try something, I do indeed get a prompt
for a login-id:

Login incorrect
login:

Now, I'm trying to remember how it works on unix: init starts getty which, if I
remember correctly, paints the first login prompt and gets the login-id.  At
that point, login(1) is called.  Right?

What is the equivalent under Cygwin?

BTW, I created /etc/passwd w/ mkpasswd -d $USERDOMAIN -u $USERNAME
and:

$ lf /bin/cygwin*     
/bin/cygwin1.dll*


I used (a while ago) iu-config to create the files in /etc.
and:

$ whence login
/cygdrive/d/cygwin/bin/login

$ echo $CYGWIN 
ntsec

Any help will be appreciated...
