xinetd/ftpd not able to login.


Hello: I am having trouble logging into my ftp server. I saw a bunch of
postings and tried many of the suggestions. I still get login failed.
/usr/doc/Cygwin/xinetd-2.3.9.README doesn't seem to be helping me. 

I have set the CYGWIN to ntsec
$ echo $CYGWIN
ntsec

my xinetd.conf looks as follows 
=========================
service ftp
{
        disable = no
        flags       = NAMEINARGS
        socket_type = stream
        protocol    = tcp
        wait        = no
        user        = rmalghan
        server      = /usr/sbin/in.ftpd
        server_args = in.ftpd -d
        nice = 10
}
========================

my /etc/passwd looks as follows
=========================
SYSTEM:*:18:544:,S-1-5-18::
Administrators:*:544:544:,S-1-5-32-544::
Administrator:unused_by_nt/2000/xp:500:513:U-RMALGHANW2K\Administrator,S-1-5

=========================

Also when I start xinetd from the prompt with no arguments, it dies
immediately. But when I use -d argument, it runs fine. Is there someother
way I should be starting xientd.

Any suggestions or any pointer which can help me.

Thanks
Ravi
