I haven't looked at the source to know; but, I would assume that you need the
other services such as INETD or RPC. It should work fine on NT with cygwin.

I don't know, the only thing I've seen in print is from the article that Chris
gave the address to last week. It stated something about the shared memory may
be a security risk.

The only problem I've had at all on NT is with broken snapshots.
BTW, the current version of CVS builds OOB with Cygwin.
