This facility does not exist in the Home edition of Windows XP, where you can grant security policy permissions, but as I have heard it does support it in Professional. As you cant change these permissions you'll just have to use the LocalSystem (SYSTEM) account to run the inetd service. When using XP Home I was able to get all of the cygwin daemons I use (ftpd,inetd,sshd) running as well as they were on their Windows 2000 counterparts. The LocalSystem account is the default user to run a service as on Windows NT4/5 and XP.

However I am unable to figure out how to login as LocalSystem (SYSTEM in /etc/passwd?). xp home does not list SYSTEM or even Adminstrator as a selectable user. thanks , be patient please I am getting there!! ********************************************************************* At 04:41 PM 12/7/2002, kumarchi@attbi.com wrote: >I am unable to use remote connection to my pc(s) running windows xp home. >After going through the inetutils documentation, and looking at the services >under windows xp, I can see that inetd is not running.

Perhaps you can be more specific about this special permission and why you can't set it. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
