I've just installed Cygwin 1.3, and am trying to get telnetd configured and working. Here's what I've tried so far. 1) I've used the to build the files in /etc. This seems to work fine, and they look more or less like the same files on Linux. 2) I added entries to /etc/shells for /usr/bin/bash (since there did not seem to be a /bin/bash). 3) I installed inetd as a service, using the --install-as-service option, and start the service. 4) If I telnet in as "telnet localhost", I get "login:" and it takes my password. I then get the default login message ("Fanfare!..") 5) At this point, telnet hangs, and nothing I type gets echoed back (except for for <CR>!). I'm at a loss as to how to debug this. Has anyone seen this problem, and have any idea what in addition I need to configure for this to work? I'm using Win2000/Professional for cygwin on the system running inetd and telnetd. Much thanks for any hints. Rob Rob Thorne Software Engineer Entelos, Inc. -- Want to unsubscribe from this list? Check out: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
