Try it.

I'm struggling with the fresh install of CygWin on two machines. If I install the inetd as a service, it logs the following at startup time: /etc/inetd.conf: No such file or directory. rejecting all connections afterwards. However, the file most certainly IS present, and if ``inetd -d'' is started from the bash window, the connections are possible. What's up? Running iu-config generated /etc/ftpusers, ftpwelcom, shells, and motd. I told to not overwrite /etc/inetd.conf. This machine previously had a Cygwin installation in another (non-standard) directory. Could there be a lingering registry setting somewhere, which causes inetd.exe to look in the wrong place when started as a servics? Why would this not be documented? The following paragraph from the inetutils's README: - No user mount point is valid anymore! You have to install all your mount points in the system mount table. This doesn't change after you have logged in to a normal user account eg. via telnet/rlogin. [...] MAKES NO SENSE whatsoever. Perhaps, it should make sense to someone, who's used earlier CygWin releases, but to a new user, it is worse than not helpful. -mi -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ -------------------------------------------------------------------- mail2web - Check your email from the web at http://mail2web.com/ . -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
