re:Windows 2000, telnet, and Cygwin's Bash

[Tom Dorgan]

The best I could ever get going was a script that ran bash after
logging to a cmd window. Inelegant, but effective. However, the win2k
telnet server is lame - only allows 1 connection per AFAICT. Also, if
you lose a connection, the server doesnt time it out and you cant
relogin to get rid of it. It was fine to run its admin tool one last
time to disable it permanently.

Then, I brought up inetd (also in the cygwin package) on the 2k server
and enabled ssh. Worked right the first time and made my sysadmin happy
as well. You can also just run the cygwin telnet from there (as well as
ftp). Dont forget to run mkpasswd and mkgroup if you want to avoid
permission problems.

cheers,
tom.

hi,

Can anyone point to a reference for getting Windows 2000 Telnet server 
to 
'"play nicely" with Cygwin Bash?

Using the telnet server administration, I set the following values:
   DefaultShell = c:\cygwin\bin\bash.exe
   LoginScript =

I got the following results:
   - when I telnet in from my own machine, my commands execute, but  I 
can't see  what I type. (i.e. as if I need to set the "local echo" on 
my 
dos-windows-telnet program)

   -I can't telnet from any other machine on my network, however.

Currently we're set to allow NTLM logins only (NTLM value = 1).

Any suggestions?
