The paragraph you quote would make at least some sense to you
if you read the User's Guide
(http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/using.html#USING-PATHNAMES specifically
should help) or perhaps looked at the output of 'mount --help'.
Try it. You might like it. ;-)

Subject: /etc/inetd.conf: No such file or directory
Hi!
I'm struggling with the fresh install of CygWin on two machines.
If I install the inetd as a service, it logs the following at startup
time:
/etc/inetd.conf: No such file or directory.
rejecting all connections afterwards.
However, the file most certainly IS present, and if ``inetd -d'' is started
from the bash window, the connections are possible. What's up?
Running iu-config generated /etc/ftpusers, ftpwelcom, shells, and motd.
I told to not overwrite /etc/inetd.conf.
This machine previously had a Cygwin installation in another (non-standard)
directory. Could there be a lingering registry setting somewhere, which
causes inetd.exe to look in the wrong place when started as a servics? Why
would this not be documented?
The following paragraph from the inetutils's README:
- No user mount point is valid anymore! You have to install all
your mount points in the system mount table. This doesn't
change after you have logged in to a normal user account eg.
via telnet/rlogin. [...]
MAKES NO SENSE whatsoever. Perhaps, it should make sense to someone,
who's used earlier CygWin releases, but to a new user, it is worse than
not helpful.
