problem starting inetd as NT service

problem starting inetd as NT service

[Yuri Leikind]

Hello all,

I cannot start inetd as NT service. I do this:

Install the service:
   cygrunsrv --install inetd --path /usr/sbin/inetd.exe 

And then try to start it:
   cygrunsrv --start inetd

On this command I get the following error dialog:

   The procedure entry point __progname could not be located in the dynamic link library cygwin1.dll


I have these packages:

inetutils 1.3.2-16
cygrunsrv 0.95-1
cygwin 1.3.10-1

and the OS is NT4.0

Where do I dig to solve the problem ?

Best regards,

The email list archives is one place to dig.  Another is the output of 
cygcheck -s -r -v.  You'll be looking for a duplicate, older version of 
cygwin1.dll on your system.  Get rid of it.

I'd try in a DOS box: NET USER and NET USER /DOMAIN

Yes, I was just pondering it.  When I try with the -lu* option,
that's the error message I get: 2221.

Thank you for the information.

OK, you're problem with /etc/passwd is at the heart of this problem.

Not necessarily.  You need to be able to create a proper /etc/passwd file.
mkpasswd will do this for you normally.  However, if you can find the proper
info, you can create one manually.  Before embarking on this "last resort"
path though, look at Jason Tishler's 'mkpasswd' email from today.  That thread
may have some useful information for you.

Incidently, I meant NOT as a telnet or ftp user, but simply as
a normal cygwin console user (Administrator) can I no longer create
files.

Ah, I afraid that's the key.  mkpasswd - both with -l and -d options - does not yield my account name.  I guess my employer REALLY has the security tied down.  Does that mean that telnet is out for me?

Me too! ;-)

Just use the "SYSTEM" account.  It's the default and gets you 
what you need.  It means you need to know a whole lot less.  You don't need
to play with the "mmc snap" mentioned above if you use "SYSTEM".

Right.  So you probably only have the option of using "SYSTEM" as the account
anyway.

I'd recommend just adding "ntsec" to the system version of the CYGWIN 
environment variable.  This will ensure that you're using ntsec both for
services and for interactive tasks, which is the best if you're using NTFS.

The lack of this data in your /etc/passwd file is probably the reason you
are having permission problems with ntsec turned on.  Just run "mkpasswd"
again with the appropriate flags for your installation.  So long as it can
find your login name, it will add the appropriate information to your 
/etc/passwd file for you.

I am also having problems getting the inetd services to run.

Due to constraints poised by my employer, I guess, I'm having basic
problems meeting the requirements:

- I'm afraid I don't know what "mmc snap" means - ah, from google
  I get something about microsoft management console tools ...
  (I hope I won't have to become a Certified Microsoft Engineer...)

- I see that, under the control-panel -> services ->+ cygwin-inetd
  I can choose between system account and 'this account'.  Default is
  system account.  Why would I use "this account"?  Why would I use
  the system account, or what problems lurk for me there?

- if I try to use "this account", I must enter a password.  Where
  does this come from?  My own password does not seem to work.

I probably won't ask these questions, except that my employer has
got the security turned down pretty tight, so trying things out isn't
very satisfactory.

When I do that, I can't create files anymore.  My id is (clearly)
uid=500(Administrator) gid=513(Kein) groups=513(Kein)

- How do I get it to be otherwise?  Will I have to login in twice,
  once to nt and once to cygwin?
- I read somewhere that I need to put my RID in the GCOS field of
  a password entry for me.  I couldn't find the RID in my registry.
  Where can I find it?

Thanks in advance.

Re: problem starting inetd as NT service

[john]

Make sure the cygwin1.ddl is in a directory that is specified
in the PATH environment variable that is used when the
service is started. (I assume you read the README file
I mentioned earlier). Also if you're using the NTFS file
system, you may also need to set the CYGWIN environment
variable to "ntsec".

I hope this helps.

Oh yes it did work, thank you!

Only now I get

problem starting inetd as NT service

[john]

If you look at the FAQ and documentation for inetd
you'll see that you don't use cygrunsrv to install
inetd. You run it with a special argument and it
installs itself (something like inetd --install-as-service)
if I remember right. If you've got the Cygwin files
installed, look at /usr/doc/Cygwin/inetutils-1.3.2.README

I hope this helps you.
