Hi, I think what you mean is that you do not have the means to set the local or domain security policy and give the user you want to run inetd as the *special* permissions required to RunAs service wise. This facility does not exist in the Home edition of Windows XP, where you can grant security policy permissions, but as I have heard it does support it in Professional.
As you cant change these permissions you'll just have to use the LocalSystem (SYSTEM) account to run the inetd service. When using XP Home I was able to get all of the cygwin daemons I use (ftpd,inetd,sshd) running as well as they were on their Windows 2000 counterparts. The LocalSystem account is the default user to run a service as on Windows NT4/5 and XP.

Perhaps you can be more specific about this special permission and why you can't set it.
