RE: inetutils-1.3.2-2 on Cygwin 1.1.1



Thanks for the reply.

I installed it as Administrator. Is this what you mean ? Win2k is
a little different from NT in some administrative respects.

I do get telnet and rlogin to do something, though.

'localhost' is usually recognized by the calls (e.g. telnet, ftp, rlogin),
but rsh seems to get confused with the domain name for the machine. I will
investigate this further.

Thanks. It gives me another start. In general, I had good luck with CYGWIN,
and I like it. However, the networking stuff has been a bit of a struggle.
My goal is to get the MPI message passing system ported to CYGWIN, if it
turns out to be simple.
