Purchase the source for 4nt and rebuild it as a Cygwin Binary. ;^)  That *is
the only way* it is going to work.

Emacs on windows (not cygwin version) will open unix files in unix mode and dos files in dos mode.  If it is a new file I think it defaults to dos mode.  If you want to force a particular mode for your next command, use:

C-x <RET> c emacs-mule-unix


or emacs-mule-dos
or emacs-mule-mac


Then open the file.  A '\' in the status bar is dos mode, and (Unix) is unix mode of course.

I don't think it can be done.  I believe that 4nt.exe will be very confused
by Cygwin's handling of ptys -- which are really just Windows pipes.

Just as a wild guess, and given the fact that this seems to be the answer
to every other problem reported on this mailing list -- EMACS is probably
adding a ^M (or \r) before the end of the lines in /etc/passwd.  mkpasswd
is probably not doing this.

inetutils questions

[Richard Stanton]

I just installed the latest inetutils, and they seem mainly to be running.
Just a couple of questions:

1) telnetd: This works using sh as the shell. However, I'd like to use 4nt
as the shell, rather than /bin/sh. I edited passwd, and replaced "/bin/sh"
with "/cygdrive/c/4nt/4nt.exe". Now, however, when I telnet to my machine,
I'm immediately logged off, as in:

You are successfully logged in to this ftp server!!!
Connection closed by foreign host.

How can I get 4nt.exe to be used as the login shell?

Followon - after manually editing passwd again using EMACS, putting /bin/sh
back again, it still doesn't work until I run mkpasswd again. What's going
on here?

2) ftpd: I can log in, and change directories fine, but when I type "dir" or
"ls", nothing actually appears on the screen. For example,

ftp> dir
200 PORT command successful.
150 Opening ASCII mode data connection for '/bin/ls'.
226 Transfer complete.
ftp>

When I type "set" at a command prompt, I see

CYGWIN=binmode tty ntsec

3) talk: Always gives the following error:

[c:\]talk user@machine
Error opening terminal: cygwin.

Thanks for any help.
