trying to get telnetd working

trying to get telnetd working

[Gregg Jensen]

I have NT4.0 SP1 and the latest coolview and remote tar files
that are available on Sergey's site.  I have also gone through
the archives of the mailing list (well at least July, August and
September).  I have followed the steps that were outlined in 
Jerome Gay's post on Wed, 13 Aug 1997 and made the changes as
necessary to my account so I can run it from a shell (I also
have it configured as a service using srvany).  When I try to
telnet to my box (either from another box or even my box) I get:

PROMPT> telnet mybox
Trying XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX...
Connected to mybox.network.com.
Escape character is '^]'.
telnetd: All network ports in use.
Connection closed by foreign host.

What is the problem with "All network ports in use".  I tried to 
use the system account, but when the login.exe executed it met with
many exception errors and died (probably because the environment wasn't
set up for that account...I would rather run under my account if
possible).  Any help would be appreciated.

I had the exact same problem, and emailed Sergey, who promptly replied and
resolved the problem.  You need to set CYGWIN_TTY=1 as a global environment
variable, in control panel|system|environment.

After you've done this, make sure you strip CR's out of your passwd file,
or you'll get another error.  I happen to use Ultraedit32, and it has an
option to convert a text file to "unix" format, which strips carriage returns.

Yes, you are right. The only way I can get it to work is to start inet -d from 
the bash prompt.
Any explanations?

Rrrrrhhhh! I have to write it with a huge letters on my web page:
