inetutils provides common networking clients and servers, including the inetd super-server, telnetd and telnet, ftpd and ftp, talkd and talk, tftpd and tftp, uucpd (but no uucp client), and syslogd.
This is a bugfix release; not only does it update to the latest upstream release, but also fixes a number of long- standing issues/failures. Note that if you use the r* tools (rlogin, rexec, rsh) you may want to install the new rsh and rsh-server packages, as those tools are now provided by these additional packages. [[ compiled using gcc-4.3.4-3 ]] CHANGES (since 1.5-6) ======================== o Update to latest upstream release o Port to cygwin-1.7 o Removed r* clients and servers; now provided by 'rsh' and 'rsh-server' packages. o Removed support for running inetd as a service on its own. You can still run inetd as a service; you just have to use cygrunsrv to do it. o Added xinetd.d/ startup scripts for remaining servers. -- Charles Wilson volunteer inetutils maintainer for cygwin ==================================================================== To update your installation, click on the "Install Cygwin now" link on the http://cygwin.com/ web page.
