RE: inetd:ssh/telnet/ftp - Im too stupid to use these


Perhaps this makes sense as a step in the process but it 
can't be the end-game if folks really want to make the 
process easier for everyone.  I'm not against any steps 
necessary if it improves any part of Cygwin but unless the 
improvement actually folds into the final product (Cygwin 
itself) as Chris points out, various disjointed and 
disconnected solutions will likely lead to more confusion 
and problems in the future.  It's worth thinking about for 
anyone that's taken the first step.   This stuff can all
be helpful.  Let's try to get it all in one place! :-)

I suspect it's because that entails yet another learning curve, and people
find it easier just to throw together a web page and put it on their own
personal site.
