I have uploaded a version of the inetutils ported
to Cygwin version 1.1.1 to sourceware.cygnus.com.
You will find it in latest/inetutils, named
inetutils-1.3.2.tar.gz
inetutils-1.3.2-src.tar.gz
Description:
============
This package is the actual port of inetutils-1.3.2 to Cygwin 1.1.1.
The base of that release is the port of Sergey Okhapkin.
Some additional patches are done to allow smooth working with
the current cygwin release and especially Windows NT service manager
and NT security.
The important changes in brief
==============================
- inetd:
inetd must not be started via srvany but it has two new options:
inetd --install-as-service
inetd --remove-as-service
When you already have inetd installed, please remove the service
before installing the new one.
If you have installed inetd it will be started automatically
on reboot. Manually starting and stopping is possible via
net start inetd
net stop inetd
Current caveat: inetd is visible twice in the process list.
This is currently needed to work correctly with the service
manager. This should be solved in a future release.
- ftpd:
ftpd is now able to change user context with the help of
NT security. This is useful mostly when using all features
of the ntsec option of cygwin. The 'S-' and 'U-' fields in
pw_gecos are taken into account as it's described in
the 'login.README' file.
- ftp:
ftp reports to be a UNIX system, so binary mode is ON by default
with most servers.
What is working?
================
ftp
ftpd
inetd
rcp
rlogin After EOF the user has to enter RETURN twice to get back
to the prompt.
rlogind
rsh
rshd Works only once per 10 minutes. This seems to be
related to some winsock error because rshsvc from
the NT resource kit has the same problem.
syslog
syslogd Superfluous for NT because syslog output is generated
anyway.
talk
talkd
telnet
telnetd
uucpd
What is not yet working?
========================
rexecd Invalid handle error
tftp Permission errors
tftpd Permission errors
