RE: telnet problems with current cygwin version


I had a similar problem with inetd changing mount points. You may have
some leftovers from a previous installtion of cygwin; see
http://sourceware.cygnus.com/ml/cygwin/2000-05/msg00844.html.

BTW, I'm also a bit perplexed about /bin vs. /usr/bin ... There's a
discussion about it starting at about this message
http://sourceware.cygnus.com/ml/cygwin-developers/2000-02/msg00132.html
(on the cygwin-developers list). I've read most of what I could find
about the 'FS layout', but I didn't get any wiser. So I continue to use
identity mounts, 

Device              Directory           Type         Flags
I:                  /                   system       binmode
C:                  /c                  system       binmode
D:                  /d                  system       binmode

and I install distribution tarballs by untar'ing myself. Works OK for
me.

kind regards
Peter Ring

Does this seem right? why does starting inetd reset mount points?

C:\>mount
Device              Directory           Type         Flags
c:\cygwin\etc       /etc                user         textmode
c:\cygwin\tmp       /tmp                user         textmode
c:\cygwin\usr       /usr                user         textmode
c:\cygwin\bin       /usr/bin            user         textmode
c:\cygwin\lib       /usr/lib            user         textmode
c:\cygwin\var       /var                user         textmode
c:\cygwin           /                   user         textmode

C:\>net start inetd
The CYGWIN inetd service is starting.
The CYGWIN inetd service was started successfully.


C:\>mount
Device              Directory           Type         Flags
C:                  /                   user         textmode

Tsk, tsk, tsk.  All of that work for not.  Based on what you currently
have
your mount table should be:

c:\cygwin           /                   user         textmode
c:\cygwin\bin       /usr/bin            user         textmode
c:\cygwin\lib       /usr/lib            user         textmode

Regards,
