Did you also check the permissions on all the programs that xinetd tries to invoke (e.g., /usr/sbin/ftpd.exe, if you enabled ftp)? > However, I still get the same message when I try to run the service. Make sure you've deleted the log files before attempting to start the service (see <http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2004-08/msg01222.html>). > The printout from cygcheck /usr/sbin/xinetd.exe shows only these two > files listed + some files in System32 dir. Try opening a SYSTEM-owned shell (see the recent thread, <http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2004-08/msg01132.html>), and run xinetd directly from the command line in that shell. If it runs there, compare the environment settings for the service with the environment settings in that shell. If it doesn't run there, the errors you get should be helpful in diagnosing the problem and experimenting.
