telnetd & spelling

telnetd & spelling

[Michael Cook]

Hello,
  How do I activate the telnet daemon? I have checked in my /etc/inetd.conf
& it is uncommented, I have tried running it from the command line, but I
get the error:

/usr/sbin -> ./in.telnetd.exe
./in.telnetd.exe: getpeername: The descriptor is a file, not a socket

  Also, in the bash shells I have used previously, there has been spelling
correction - for instance, if you were to type:
'cd /tec'
you would be taken to /etc - any idea how to turn this on?

Thanks a million!!!
  Michael

You can't start telnetd from command line by default since it requires a
connected socket on stdin and stdout. 
Why did you copy your inetd file from some other system? It's in the
base distro as part of the inetutils package and might fit your needs
better. Telnetd knows nothing about that file. It's the config file for
inetd which starts telnetd. So you'll have to start inetd. There's a
_documentation_ (surprise) in /usr/doc/Cygwin/inetutils-1.3.2.README.
