Note that inetd needs to locate cygwin1.dll in order to start. Also note that services start even before you login. So how is inetd (usually in /usr/sbin) to find cygwin1.dll (usually in /bin)? The answer is that the Windows loader will look for dll's first in the directory that the program loaded from (/usr/sbin) failing that it will look for it following PATH. So is <cygwin install directory>\bin in your PATH? Not in your Cygwin PATH but in your Windows PATH. Remember services are started even before you login so Cygwin's bin directory (usually C:\Cygwin\bin) must be in your Windows System environment variable PATH (Windows User environment variables such as PATH are only in affect when the user logs in).
Note that since you are changing the Windows System environment you must reboot to insure that the change is noticed. -- Salira <http://www.salira.com> Ethernet Simple, Fiber Fast ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 5751 Patrick Henry Drive Santa Clara, California 95054 Phone: (408)-855-8860x121 Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]%3E> Web: http://www.salira.com Andrew DeFaria <http://www.defaria.com> Clearcase Administrator Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Home http://www.defaria.com -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
