well, I've allso changed permissions for user "eran" and it still doesnt
work - I must mention that in the past I didnt have to change
permissions or do anything special for making it work and it did work
for me.
I suspect that something during istallation has changed that make this
problem occur
still waiting for suggestions
Thanks

You are trying to start xinetd from user erin, which has no write
permission on /var/lock/subsys (only read & execute). chmod 777
/var/lock/subsys would probably help.

Hi,
I have been trying to setup xinetd in my windows xp pro computer under
cygwin with no luck
(tried that in 3 different computers with the same result)
(I must mention that I did it in the past with success - had to redo
it because of new installed OS
and new installed cygwin)
now from some reason I cant and the error I get is:
$ /etc/rc.d/init.d/xinetd start
Starting xinetd: [ OK ]
touch: cannot touch `/var/lock/subsys/xinetd': Permission denied
$ ls -la /var/lock/
total 0
drwxr-xr-x+ 3 SYSTEM root 0 Oct 12 20:05 .
drwxrwx---+ 9 eran Users 0 Oct 12 20:05 ..
drwxr-xr-x+ 2 SYSTEM root 0 Oct 13 12:06 subsys
I installed all the neccesary packages for making it work
$ cygcheck -c | egrep "sysvinit|initscript|chkconfig|xinetd"
chkconfig 1.2.24h-1 OK
initscripts 0.9-1 OK
sysvinit 2.84-4 OK
xinetd 2.3.9-1 OK
and after that run:
init-config (answered no at both questions - tried even with yes
answer on both questions)
xinetd-config (answered yes on both questions)
now I see all the relevant port listening but if I try them is say the
below
$ netstat -aon | grep 23
TCP 0.0.0.0:23 0.0.0.0:0 LISTENING
3252
$ telnet localhost
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to 172.0.0.1.
Escape character is '^]'.
Connection closed by foreign host.
I've searched for that problem in your newsgroups and found the below
link (that was long time ago - see the date)
http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2004-08/msg01109.html

thanks ahead
