inetd is not designed to run under cygrunsrv. It installs (and, fwiw, removes) itself as service. One condition to get this right is to read the documentation first, which, I think, is always a good idea: /usr/share/doc/Cygwin/inetutils-1.3.2.README There you'll see that not long ago a special option -D has been added to allow running inetd under cygrunsrv. But it's not necessary, just read on in the above document. Did you call the /bin/iu-config script before starting inetd? Or, in other words, do you have a valid /etc/inetd.conf file? Btw., when running on 2K3, the SYSTEM user has not enough privileges to switch the user context w/o password, which will spoil using rsh a bit... See the /bin/sshd-host-config script from the openssh package, which installs not only the sshd serice, but also creates a new user account called "sshd_server", which has the necessary privileges to do that. You could remove the inetd service and recreate it again after running /bin/sshd-host-config like this: cygrunsrv -R inetd cygrunsrv -I inetd -u sshd_server -w <sshd_server's password> ... Or you just change the user account in the Services MMC Snap-In.
