inetd security hole?

[Bob Heckel]

I just set up inetd-1.3.2-5p1 as a service on my W2K box.  My
thanks to the Cygwin team.  Great job on this piece.  There
may, however, be a security hole for some people.  I was
able to FTP from a remote Unix box to my Cygwin W2K box
simply by using user guest and password (enter).  Had to
delete the Guest entry from /etc/passwd to close the hole.

I may not be configured properly and your system may be
different but I wanted to make sure no one is accidently
exposed to trouble.  I checked the mailing list search
engine prior to posting this and didn't see any warnings regarding this
issue.
