- Subject: inetd fails to start services
I cannot get inetd services to start even after following the README. I've
got win2000, the latest cygwin and inetutils-1.3.2-20 installed.
I added "CYGWIN=binmode tty ntsec" and "d:\cygwin\bin" to the path for the
system variables.
Did the "/usr/sbin/inetd --install-as-service" and "net start inetd". (inetd
uses LocalSystem as the login account.) inetd seems to start OK...
net start inetd
The CYGWIN inetd service is starting.
The CYGWIN inetd service was started successfully.
However, "netstat -a" shows no services. In the application event viewer is
the error message...
"The description for Event ID ( 0 ) in Source ( inetd ) cannot be found. The
local computer may not have the necessary registry information or message
DLL files to display messages from a remote computer. The following
information is part of the event: inetd : Win32 Process Id = 0x2B8 : Cygwin
Process Id = 0x2B8 : /etc/inetd.conf: No such file or directory."
BUT inetd.conf IS there...
ls -al /etc/in*
-rwxrwxrwx 1 Administ Administ 1973 Jan 20 10:10 /etc/inetd.conf
I tried different owners to no avail.
I followed these same instructions on two other machines and it worked!
Why can't inetd find inetd.conf?
Any Help? thanks...
