I had a problem of slowness with inetd and telnetd: when connecting with
telnet to my machine (even locally) it took much time to prompt for the
user name.
I discovered that it was due to the SYSTEM user missing a home in
/etc/passwd, i.e. when I had the problem the line in /etc/passwd was:
SYSTEM:*:18:544:,S-1-5-18::
then I fixed it this way:
SYSTEM:*:18:544:,S-1-5-18:/tmp:
and the slowness went away (but don't ask me why: I don't know).
Ciao,
Danilo

Hi all
I've installed inetutils & uw-imapd on cygwin, registered inet as a
windows XP service (which starts OK) and I'm running uw-imapd through
inetd. Inetd & uw-imap are slow to respond when I connect to them
locally.

Does anyone know what could be causing these messages? I've added
cygwin's /usr/sbin and /bin to the system PATH (as mentioned on an
earlier post).
