Hi,
I've recently been required to use a Windows XP Professional system, and
have been trying to setup a Cygwin inetd service.
After installing the requisite Cygwin packages, I performed a:
cygrunsrv -I inetd -d "CYGWIN inetd" -p /usr/sbin/inetd -a '-d'
and then:
cygrunsrv -S inetd
Curiously however, at least against my experience, the spawned service
processed are *not* being run as SYSTEM. Consider the following output:
$ ps -ef
sbaddah 2428 1 con 11:23:33 /usr/bin/bash
sbaddah 1412 2428 con 13:10:06 /usr/bin/rxvt
sbaddah 1740 1412 3 13:10:06 /usr/bin/sh
400 3692 1 ? 13:56:54 /usr/bin/cygrunsrv
400 3336 3692 ? 13:56:54 /usr/sbin/inetd
sbaddah 2600 1740 3 13:56:57 /usr/bin/ps
The SYSTEM uid from my /etc/passwd (created by mkpasswd -l -d) is 18:
SYSTEM:*:18:544:,S-1-5-18::
Uid 400 doesn't exist. Can someone please explain to me why the service
is not being started as SYSTEM? Is this normal? What more can I do to
diagnose the problem (other than sending the cygcheck.out, which I have
attached)?
Why didn't you configure the service via /usr/bin/iu-config? I'd suggest
you uninstall, reinstall, and try using the configure script instead. With
some luck, it will be able to undo any missteps and configure a working and
proper inetd for you.
