Again, the advice below is very generic, and has to do with services in general, not xinetd in particular. First off, see (and follow) the Cygwin problem reporting guidelines at <http://cygwin.com/problems.html>, particularly the part about providing the output of "cygcheck -svr" as an uncompressed text *attachment*. > When I execute the following: > $ cygrunsrv -S xinetd > i get: > cygrunsrv: Error starting a service: QueryServiceStatus: Win32 error 1062 > Usluga nie zostala uruchomiona. $ net helpmsg 1062 The service has not been started. > the same when running > $ net start xinetd > ... > System error 1067 has occured. > ... $ net helpmsg 1067 The process terminated unexpectedly. The weird part is that "net start" and "cygrunsrv -S" give different errors, but maybe that's expected. What does the Windows Event Log show? > When I run xinetd manually, it starts normally, but since I run it as a > normal user, Bingo. Here's a guess (pending the output of "cygcheck -svr"): you installed Cygwin for "Just Me" instead of "All Users". Therefore, the SYSTEM user doesn't see your mounts, and can't find the files. Re-mount all your mounts as system mounts (Google for "cygwin remount system" for a recipe) and try starting your service again. > it hasn't got enough privileges and I get setuid error when trying to > telnet onto the server. > /var/log/xinetd.log contains nothing. As said above, look in the Event Log, but I suspect that remounting your mounts as system mounts will do the trick.
