I seem to have run into the same problem that folks with inetutils pre 1.3.2-11 had with console output from native apps not getting displayed in a telnet session. I'm running XP Pro, Cygwin DLL 1.3.22, inetutils 1.3.2-22, and xinetd 2.3.9-1. The rest of the details are attached. I have xinetd started via init which is the only cygwin-related thing I can see in the service control manager. I normally run init with the "Allow service to interact with desktop" box _un_checked. To see if anything changed, I tried checking the box, and and empty console window named cygrnusrv.exe appears, but that's all. My console app doesn't display any output. At least not initially. It's an interactive program that will finish (i. e. return from main()) when I type quit\n. After I type quit\n, I see the output I normally see before the prompt, and the stuff it prints before quitting. The normal output (in bash) looks like this: $ ./hello T: main: running...type quit to end example. >: quit T: exiting $ The output in a telnet session looks like this: $ ./hello quit T: main: running...type quit to end example. >: T: exiting $ Has there been a similar patch to xinetd as there was in inetutils 1.3.2-11? I searched the archives, but came up empty. Thanks much for your help. Please let me know if I can provide more information. -DB -- David Byron dbyron@everdream.com Everdream http://www.everdream.com 6591 Dumbarton Circle voice:(510)818-5550 Fremont, CA 94555 fax:(510)818-5510
