Hi,

I have been trying to setup xinetd in my windows xp pro computer under 
cygwin with no luck
(tried that in 3 different computers with the same result)
(I must mention that I did it in the past with success - had to redo it 
because of new installed OS
and new installed cygwin)

now from some reason I cant and the error I get is:

$ /etc/rc.d/init.d/xinetd start
Starting xinetd:                                           [  OK  ]
touch: cannot touch `/var/lock/subsys/xinetd': Permission denied

$ ls -la /var/lock/
total 0
drwxr-xr-x+ 3 SYSTEM root  0 Oct 12 20:05 .
drwxrwx---+ 9 eran   Users 0 Oct 12 20:05 ..
drwxr-xr-x+ 2 SYSTEM root  0 Oct 13 12:06 subsys

I installed all the neccesary packages for making it work

$ cygcheck -c | egrep "sysvinit|initscript|chkconfig|xinetd"
chkconfig               1.2.24h-1          OK
initscripts             0.9-1              OK
sysvinit                2.84-4             OK
xinetd                  2.3.9-1            OK

and after that run:

init-config (answered no at both questions - tried even with yes answer on 
both questions)
xinetd-config (answered yes on both questions)

now I see all the relevant port listening but if I try them is say the below

$ netstat -aon | grep 23
  TCP    0.0.0.0:23             0.0.0.0:0              LISTENING       3252

$ telnet localhost
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to 172.0.0.1.
Escape character is '^]'.
Connection closed by foreign host.

I've searched for that problem in your newsgroups and found the below link 
(that was long time ago - see the date)

thanks ahead
