problems with cygrunsrv and inetd

["Ruud Huynen" <ruud dot huynen at hispeed dot ch>]

Hello

I looked on the internet and inetutils.README to install the inetd and the
ssh service.
When I create the windows service inetd with:
cygrunsrv -I inetd -d "CYGWIN inetd" -p /usr/sbin/inetd -a -d -e
CYGWIN=ntsec

I noticed that the executable pointed to in the service is, which is wrong:
C:\cygwin\bin\cygrunsrv.exe

After removing it
cygrunsrv -R inetd

And using:
/usr/sbin/inetd.exe --install-as-service
I have in the service: C:\cygwin\usr\sbin\inetd.exe

Starting it shows the two inetd processes running, but netstat -an does not
show any listening ports!

I thought -d means debugging. Not daemon. But I tried it and changed the
registry to add the -d. The same behaviour is noticed.

Only by using the following command I have the ports open, and can connect:
$ /usr/sbin/inetd.exe -d &
[1] 2936

Using  /usr/sbin/inetd.exe  without the '-d' does not work.

Using the "/usr/bin/ssh-host-config -y" to configure ssh has the same
problem. In the service the executable is 'C:\cygwin\bin\cygrunsrv.exe'.

What is wrong ?


Please find attached the cygcheck file.

Thank you for helping me.
