You have never attached cygcheck output, or fomulated a problem report in the manner requested by http://www.cygwin.com/problems.html even after you have been asked to do so by several people (Hint: Your subject line should probably read something like "remsh: Permission Denied on Windows 2003". As such, I don't know why I am still helping you, but... Let me say this as clear as I know how. I am not an expert in this area, so this will be the end of my help to you. If I give misleading information, I hope some other kind soul will correct me. If you still have problems, please contact the list and provide all the requested information. Or, do not expect any further help. Windows 2003 changed the default permissions given to the the local SYSTEM account for security reasons. In fact, some permissions necessary to switch users are no longer allowed to be given to that account. As such, Cygwin services that switch users and used to run under that account like inetd/cron/etc. do not work out of the box like they did on previous OSes. Ssh already has a work around using the ssh-host-config script. The details of which have been applied to cron, and are given in the message URL I quoted below. These solutions are currently being integrated into the stock Cygwin release. That said, if you apply the wisdom of the work around for cron (derived for the one for sshd) to inetd, all should be well. If you have tried this and encountered problems, please describe *exactly* what you tried and what happened, step by step. If not, I can only assume that you want someone else to solve your problem for you. If that is the case, you need to just sit and wait patiently. I expected you would have gleamed this information by reading the messages in that thread, and doing additional archive searches based on what you learned. Since you have not been able to gleam anything from the Cygwin problems page, I guess I should not have expected that.
