Folks, Ok, I have reread the faq and user guide. (not that I understood it all...) (and I have been happily using B19 & B20 for 2.5 years now) I set CYGWIN to binmode tty ntsec in the system env variables I put c:\cygwin\bin in system path I ran mkpasswd -d >etc/passwd mkgroup -d >etc/group I rebooted and verified the cygwin inetd was started, and two inetd processes are running. I get connection refused when I try to telnet. How do I start to figure this out? Thanks, Mark Also, the instructions in the readme are a bit unclear. When I try to create a key with the text C:\usr\sbin\inetd.exe (where it really is) regedt32 (or regedit) compain that "\" is an illegal character. - The environment variable CYGWIN must be either set in the system environment to be active from start on or you can set CYGWIN thru the registry: Under the key HKLM\Software\Cygnus Solutions\Cygwin\Program Options create a key of type REG_SZ (String) named like the full DOS path to the application, eg. "C:\usr\bin\inetd.exe" and with the value equal to the preferred CYGWIN settings, eg "binmode tty ntsec". -- Want to unsubscribe from this list? Check out: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
