telnet problems with current cygwin version

[Edward Muller]

I installed the entire sygwin package from the net.
I created the passwd and group files with the mk programs.
Everything LOOKS okay in the group and passwd files with the exception of a proper home path. I added it and got the same results. I attacked the stackdump to this email as well.

I noticed that whenever I tried to telnet to localhost in.telnetd would startup in the task list, then die. So I stopped inetd and ran the following:

Did you install the `login' package, too?
Did you create your /etc/passwd and /etc/group files with
the provided tools `mkpasswd' and `mkgroup'?
Did you take a look into that files if anything is as
needs it (home path, shell)?
