Thank you Gerrit Give me some more light pls. I'm on win2k professional. I again ran 'iu-config' under /etc, and the response was (i didn't see the prompt if install inetd as a service)
Administrator@ALLELUJA /cygdrive/c/cygwin/etc $ iu-config Overwrite existing /etc/ftpusers file? (yes/no) yes Creating default /etc/ftpusers file Overwrite existing /etc/ftpwelcome file? (yes/no) yes Creating default /etc/ftpwelcome file Overwrite existing /etc/inetd.conf file? (yes/no) yes Creating default /etc/inetd.conf file Overwrite existing /etc/motd file? (yes/no) yes Creating default /etc/motd file Overwrite existing /etc/shells file? (yes/no) yes Creating default /etc/shells file Configuration finished. Have fun! Administrator@ALLELUJA /cygdrive/c/cygwin/etc $ inetd --install-as-service bash: inetd: command not found Administrator@ALLELUJA /cygdrive/c/cygwin/etc $ What do they really mean? I haven't installed 'inetd' yet or other required packages? > Start the inetd service, then: how to start it? (under which folder, and what command) > login now with your username and password. my windows usrname/passwd or something else?
