RE: Telnetd on cygwin 1.3.1.

[jens at uniweb dot se]

Hi,

 No, I've not looked into this any more. Using 1.1.8 is working.

 I can not check the installation at the moment. But my feeling was that id.exe was never run. The in.telnetd.exe was the one taking all the CPU power. But I'll give it a look again tonight.

 I don't have the source but I might download tonight. To have a look. But how do I run in.telnetd.exe through gdb when it's started by the inetd.exe service. That's something I'm not experienced with.

 ssh also seems to be broke. Or to be exact, the sshd.exe. I can not connect to it. But I've not looked at that much.

 I'll tell you if I find something.
