Hi, Telnet is working now, rsh is working half-way. Here is what I did: 1) I uninstalled everything. 2) I reinstalled cygwin with default packages. 3) Then I installed inetd package, ran iu-config, mkpasswd,... However, it still didn't work. 4) Then I upgraded login package to the latest 1.9.6 from 1.9.5. 5) Then reinstalled cygwin package again because before the reinstallation of cygwin package, login.exe got "The procedure entry point _getreent could not be located in the dynamic link library cygwin1.dll." error. 5) Changed my UID in /etc/passwd to one less than 65536, otherwise, I got couldn't switch to my account error in telnet login session. 6) Telnet worked. 7) Rsh complianed about no remote directory. Then I changed my home directory from a network mapped drive to local drive in /etc/passwd. 8) Rsh still complained Permission denied. Then I setup /etc/hosts.equiv and rsh worked. But .rhosts is still not working. My .rhosts file in on a FAT32 file system. In the bash window, I ran ls -l .rhosts, it showed 644. However, when I ran rsh, Windows event log showed bad .rhosts owner. This file is owned by my account. Inetd is starting with local admin account. And I tried to chown SYSTEM .rhosts. It didn't work. I have CYGWIN=ntsec. Maybe it is related to FAT32?

I used this syntax and I could get my account passwd entry quickly. However, when I tried to do the same thing for mkgroup -d -u <uname> <domain name>, I got error "Cannot get PDC, code = 2453" after it printed SYSTEM group entry. And I am quite concern about why when I started inetd using local admin user, the inetd process running using UID 400 and I got connection refused error. Any idea?
