Cygwin Password handling and Inetd configuration

- Bcc:
Is there a reference regarding the inetd configuration and password setup
for Cygwin ? I've installed the current version (which uname reports as
1.3.11).
At issue:
1. The /etc/inetd.conf seems conventional, but there is no /etc/services
file installed, or documentation for port assignments. Is there some other
file or method to re-assign TCP ports or new services ? If /etc/services
isn't used, what is the correct configuration file ?
2. There is no longer a man page for /bin/passwd -- only a page for the
openssl front end. Neither seems to work to change a user password and allow
that user to log-in via the distribution in.telnetd or in.ftpd via
/bin/passwd, or by using openssl passwd -crypt and manually adding the
result to /etc/passwd.
3. Compiling other ftpd source code and substituting it for the in.ftpd in
/etc/causes a core dump on getpeername() or getsockname().
Thanks,
Phil Smith
