I've been working on software that utilized the cygwin ftpd daemon. Everything
was working
fine in March-April. Then I took a break from the NT development and
concentrated on
UNIX. In the meantime, I downloaded new releases of inetutils (and other
modules) as they
became available and installed them without fanfare. Unfortunately, I didn't
test the ftp server
software and "dumbly" assumed it would work as it always had.
GOTCHA!!!!!!!!
When I attempted to incorporate the NT work I had earlier accomplished into the
near finished
project, I was in for a nasty surprise. NT FTP NO LONGER WORKED. After some
research
through the mail archives, I found this post:

Yes, sure am I using ntsec, as systemwide Variable and also in cygwin.bat:
1: inetd got no TTY:
$ ps -e
PID PPID PGID WINPID TTY UID STIME COMMAND
433 1 433 433 1 500 22:33:33 /usr/bin/bash
390 433 390 532 1 500 22:39:19 /usr/local/bin/perl
284 1 284 284 0 500 22:54:14 /usr/bin/bash
528 1 528 528 ? 18 22:55:03 /usr/sbin/inetd
242 528 528 242 ? 18 22:55:15 /usr/sbin/inetd
481 284 481 412 0 500 22:55:21 /usr/bin/ps
2: it is UID 18
3: CYGWIN is:
$ set
[...]
CYGWIN=$'binmode tty ntea ntsec title case_check:strict'
[...]
4: After login with telnet, i'm User SYSTEM, BASH=/bin/sh and
NO CYGWIN at all, login to ftpd fails (failed not before upgrade).
I don't use rsh so i don't know if it is different now.

O.K. i'll try next release.

Hmm, i never turn off ntsec if not trying a new port of some cute software.

This is precisely the problem I am having. And I am using the very latest
release inetutils-1.3.2-14.
Is there something I'm missing? If this is still an ongoing problem, then is it
possible to get
a copy of inetutils that didn't have this problem? I do not have backups of the
distribution code
from March-April. (I wish I did!) I'm really under the gun here.
Thanks

It's not inetutils, it's inside of Cygwin 1.3.2.
Just a hint, make really sure that you have well defined /etc/passwd
and /etc/group files. The latest changes to the setuid() stuff in
Cygwin depends on a well shaped group file, too.

After updating to inetutils-1.3.2-14 everything worked well for me (i think
so), but as i see now, you're right, I got it back again, too.
Telnet<>SYSTEM and ftp login failed.
You may fetch a recent snapshot from your cygwin mirror.
I just tested with 2001-09-04's snapshot-dll and it works well.
(I just fetched cygwin1-20010904.dll.bz2 and replaced the old one):

I tried the snapshot dll - it didn't work for me. In fact I couldn't even get
the bash shell
to come up by itself. So then I downloaded the entire cygwin install snapshot
and could bring
the bash shell up - but the ftp problem was still the same. Of course there's
always the
possibility I screwed up a step somewhere. Nevertheless, my immediate needs are
met. I'll definitely try the next release. Thanks for all your help.

I don't think 'downgrading' is a good solution. If you cannot wait for
a new release, why not use a recent snapshot of the cygwin1.dll? I tried
and it works well for inetd and telnet and ftpd and sshd and ssh, so why
downgrading?

Well I appreciate the quick response - unfortunately, the advice did not work
for me.
I did however manage to find a mirror site where I could download these two
"ancient"
versions of inetutils and cygwin:
cygwin-1.1.3-1.tar.gz
inetutils-1.3.2-4.tar.gz
Now ftpd works again with ntsec and all the goodies. I tried the latest
inetutils-1.3.2-14.tar.gz
with the above cygwin version but I got "connection refused". Bottom line - I'm
back in action.
However, I would like to get back to the latest versions as soon as this problem
is fixed
-- once and for all. In the meantime, anyone else who has need of these older
versions, can
go to the mirror site:
