When I use inetd Win98 and telnet to it, I get a prompts for a password.
When I telnet to inetd on XP, it prompts for a user id and then a password.
Is there any reason for this inconsistency?  Is there anything I can do to
make them consistent?

My guess is that is has something to do with the user id inetd is running
as.  On Win98, I start inetd from as bash shell with a user id.  On WinXP,
inetd is started as SYSTEM I think.
