Hi all,

I'm still trying to get xinetd to run from cygwin. I installed 
everything according to the instructions. However, init does not make 
any visible attempt to start xinetd. I can start it by hand using the 
init script. telinit does not do anything, and starting the 
Windows-service does not do anything either.

What is going wrong? How can I trace what init is doing? Additionally, 
there seems to be something strange with the user-mapping between 
Windows and Cygwin. The Windows service starts as user "NetworkService" 
which does not seem to have an entry in /etc/passwd.

Best Regards,
Gordon.
