Over many frustrating hours I have been trying to get inetd ( or sshd ) to
work with my Win2K cygwin setup to enable civilized remote access. It
worked great on one of my local systems, but every time I tried to start the
service on a very similarly configured machine it would fail with:
cygrunsrv: Error starting a service: QueryServiceStatus: Win32 error 1062:
The Service has not been started.
Searches of this mailing list and extensive google searches were no use.
Ultimately I found the culprit. For some reason setup.exe had created all
of my root mount points as user mounts and not system mounts. Therefore the
service when started as user: SYSTEM couldn't find, well anything, and
failed without printing any useful status. The solution is to change / from
a user mount point to a system mount point.
I hope this description saves someone else the headache.
Cheers,
