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.
