2002-12-05 Thread Bruce P. Osler
For starters - I'd like to contribute to the Cygwin love-fest going on. I think Cygwin is an awesome environment with huge benefits for folks working under windows. Today I'm interested in finding out wether I can use networked password services with the cygwin inetd. At work I would like to set

OK, I've got the latest-greatest cygwin stuff and am trying to use the ftpd as part of debugging a company platform. Everything appears to work _relatively_ well except for one big thing. The process of waking the ftpd takes about five seconds. That is to say, if I watch the network activity bet
