Re: Some inetutils don't work


Did you set your CYGWIN environment variable to point to the location of 
inetd.exe? Or did you update the registry?  One of these two is 
necessary.  Also, assuming your Cygwin is in c:\cygwin, make sure 
c:\cygwin\bin is in your System path (not any individual user path) so 
that the system can find cygwin1.dll (which I believe is in 
c:\cygwin\bin) when starting up the inetd service?

Actually, seeing that you got telnet and ftp working, you've probably 
got all this.  I recently got rsh working, but rlogin still gives me a 
permission denied error regarding executing bash (actually, login gives 
me this problem during rlogin).  I've only heard of one or two other 
people with this problem, though, and no one on this list has given me 
hints on what to do.  So I've come to accept my fate for now (hoping the 
next version will have fixed W2k acls or whatever's causing my problems 
(1.1.8 rlogin worked)).

Good luck.
