Hello Igor,

Problem solved, please ignore my last posting. 

You were correct. The environment string had not in fact been set up via
cygrunsrv when I installed inetd originally. I tried setting it via the
services dialog in XP and as a global system-wide variable, but I had
forgotten about cygrunsrv -e. 

The following install fixed the problem:

    cygrunsrv -I inetd -d "CYGWIN inetd" -p /usr/sbin/inetd -a -d -e
CYGWIN=server
    cygrunsrv -S inetd

Once again, thank you for your prompt reply and assistance.

Best regards,

John

How is inetd installed as service?  Does that service have CYGWIN=server
in its environment?
