Thorsten,

I'm sorry, but that contradicts my own experience. I recently set up 
Cygwin on a Windows XP system. I invoked "inetd --install-as-service" 
and found that it would not start. I then went to the Environment 
control panel, added the Cygwin bin to the system-wide PATH and 
subsequently the "CYGWIN inetd" started up and functioned just fine.
