'net start' command trough a telnet session

'net start' command trough a telnet session

[Kalkoul Morad]

My config: Cygwin 1.1.7  & NT4 Server

Why trough a telnet session , the command 'ipconfig' runs correctly and the
'net start' command displays nothing. Both commands are native under NT4. 

Thanks in advance.

Best regards , Morad KALKOUL

Not all Windows commands work over a telnet session.  Sorry.

Is it just me who's getting confused here?

Morad Kalkoul reported this problem at 13 Mar 2001 12:12:42 +0100

Egor Duda supplied a patch to fix the problem at 13 Mar 2001 16:16:34 +0300

Corinna tested and confirmed the patch and announced a new release
of inetutils at 13 Mar 2001 15:22:56 +0100

Morad Kalkoul reported that "it didn't work", and Keith Starsmeare
reported a similar problem, but neither of them appear to have tried
either the patch or the new release of inetutils.

Then at 13 Mar 2001 17:52:12 +0100, Morad Kalkoul reported the problem
again:

To which Chris Faylor responded

This appears to be one of the quickest bug-fix turnarounds I've
ever seen in a project like this (just over three hours from
bug report to release of a fixed version) but everyone seems to
be ignoring the fix! Have Morad Kalkoul or Keith Starsmeare tried
the new inetd? Is Rui-Tao Dong working on the same problem? Am
I totally misunderstanding what's going on?

Congratulations and thanks to Egor and Corinna for such a fast
fix and release - this is the sort of thing that provides good
ammunition when staid managers refuse to use open source software
because "there is no support".

I figured this one out.  See my post yesterday about inetd and stdout.
Charles Wilson's run
( http://www.neuro.gatech.edu/users/cwilson/cygutils/unversioned/run/ )
may help.  However, I think the right fix should be in inetd.  I just
downloaded the inetd source and see if I produce a patch.
