inetutils-1.3.2-2 on Cygwin 1.1.1

[Andrea Malagoli]

Hi,
I am running Cygwin 1.1.1 on a Thinkpad 600 with 
Windows 2000. Things 
work fine for the most, but I am still struggling 
to get inteutils to work appropriately.
I have installed inetutils-1.3.2-2 that come as 
part of the 1.1.1 distribution.
I have applied all the necessary modifications to 
the users accounts (the requires
changes in security settings), and I have checked 
pretty much most of the
instructions. The results are as 
follows:
 
1) login - works fine.
2) telnet - works fine, except that it does not see 
CYGWIN, and it does not 
               
source .basrch, so that part of the PATH is not set correctly.
3) ftp - does not work. After the prompt for the 
username, it fails with a 
          "User xxxx access 
denied", even before the prompt for the password appears.
4) rsh - does not work. A call to "rsh localhost 
ls" returns a "host address mismatch"
           for the 
machine.
5) rlogin - it works, but the environment has the 
same problem as for telnet.
 
Note that I had disabled the Windows telnetd and 
ftpd equivalent services, in order to
make sure that the appropriate services are used. I 
am using a FAT32 file system.
 
I can use any other suggestion, since I am short of 
options at this moment.
 
Thanks in advance.
