inetutils-1.3.2-2 on Cygwin 1.1.1

["Andrea Malagoli" <a-malagoli at uchicago dot edu>]

Hi,

I am running Cygwin 1.1.1 on a Thinkpad 600 with Windows 2000. Things

work fine for the most, but I am still struggling to get inteutils to work appropriately.

I have installed inetutils-1.3.2-2 that come as part of the 1.1.1 distribution.

I have applied all the necessary modifications to the users accounts (the requires

changes in security settings), and I have checked pretty much most of the

instructions. The results are as follows:

 

1) login - works fine.

2) telnet - works fine, except that it does not see CYGWIN, and it does not

               source .basrch, so that part of the PATH is not set correctly.

3) ftp - does not work. After the prompt for the username, it fails with a

          "User xxxx access denied", even before the prompt for the password appears.

4) rsh - does not work. A call to "rsh localhost ls" returns a "host address mismatch"

           for the machine.

5) rlogin - it works, but the environment has the same problem as for telnet.

 

Note that I had disabled the Windows telnetd and ftpd equivalent services, in order to

make sure that the appropriate services are used. I am using a FAT32 file system.

 

I can use any other suggestion, since I am short of options at this moment.

 

Thanks in advance.
