RE: Autonomous xinetd


I have been able to resolve this issue by adding --env
"CYGWIN=binmode ntsec tty" to the cygrunsrv.exe
install. The full command is as follows:

cygrunsrv.exe --install Xinetd --path /usr/sbin/xinetd
--args "-filelog /etc/xinetd.log" --env
"CYGWIN=binmode ntsec tty" --disp "Xinetd Server"

Also, had to change the mount points from the initial
CYGWIN directory to the new root directory where just
the files were needed for ssh and xinetd.


One other point to keep in mind, if you plan to run
the ssh client as the SYSTEM account, don't forget to
create a home directory somewhere for it and change
/etc/passwd to reflect it.  You can then open a SYSTEM
shell and create your ssh private and pub keys and
install them on the remote system.

I do however have one outstanding issue with this
install, even though the service starts properly
either from Services Manager, net start, or cygrunsrv
-S xinetd, after you refresh or check the status of
the service it then shows "stopped" but the process is
still running properly in task manager and it is
functioning well.  How do you get the service to
report a proper state?
