Can someone point me to where all of this is documented?

Did you install the `login' package, too?
Did you create your /etc/passwd and /etc/group files with
the provided tools `mkpasswd' and `mkgroup'?
Did you take a look into that files if anything is as
needs it (home path, shell)?

RE: telnet problems with current cygwin version

[Edward Muller]

Thank You all for you help so far.

This is what my current mount points looks like:
 Device              Directory           Type         Flags
c:\cygwin\bin       /usr/bin            system       binmode
c:\cygwin\lib       /usr/lib            system       binmode
c:\cygwin           /                   system       binmode

And I still have the same problem. When I try to telnet to localhost I get a 'Connection to host lost'. When I stop inetd and run in.telnetd -debug, then telnet to localhost I get the following out put (plus a stackdump).

      0 [main] in.telnetd 1000 handle_exceptions: Exception: STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION
  11555 [main] in.telnetd 1000 stackdump: Dumping stack trace to in.telnetd.exe.stackdump

So I'm still lost....Any other suggestions? I've also tried this with all mount being textmode mounts with the same results.

That's enough. If inetd is started under LocalSystem account,
you _must_ use system mounts. If you can see user mounts, you have
a problem. The user mounts are in the registry found under
HKEY_USERS/.DEFAULT/Software/Cygnus Solutions/... and you'll have
to delete them with regtool or RegEdit.

BUT: You _must_ at least create the system root mount first.

I have written that system mount points have to be created
already in the inetutils-1.3.2.README file. which is part
of the package. In versions up to 1.3.2-3, the README is in the
root directory, since 1.3.2-4 you can find it in /usr/doc/Cygwin.

Moreover that problem was already talked about in this mailing list.

RE: telnet problems with current cygwin version

[Peter Ring]

I had a similar problem with inetd changing mount points. You may have
some leftovers from a previous installtion of cygwin; see
http://sourceware.cygnus.com/ml/cygwin/2000-05/msg00844.html .

BTW, I'm also a bit perplexed about /bin vs. /usr/bin ... There's a
discussion about it starting at about this message
http://sourceware.cygnus.com/ml/cygwin-developers/2000-02/msg00132.html
(on the cygwin-developers list). I've read most of what I could find
about the 'FS layout', but I didn't get any wiser. So I continue to use
identity mounts, 

Device              Directory           Type         Flags
I:                  /                   system       binmode
C:                  /c                  system       binmode
D:                  /d                  system       binmode

and I install distribution tarballs by untar'ing myself. Works OK for
me.

kind regards
Peter Ring

Tsk, tsk, tsk.  All of that work for not.  Based on what you currently
have
your mount table should be:

c:\cygwin           /                   user         textmode
c:\cygwin\bin       /usr/bin            user         textmode
c:\cygwin\lib       /usr/lib            user         textmode

That's enough. If inetd is started under LocalSystem account,
you _must_ use system mounts. If you can see user mounts, you have
a problem. The user mounts are in the registry found under
HKEY_USERS/.DEFAULT/Software/Cygnus Solutions/... and you'll have

Re: telnet problems with current cygwin version

Ed,

From the looks of your mount output all of your moints are user mode
mounts.  This means, IIRC that these mounts are only available when
your user hive is loaded.  When mount -s is used they are recorded
in the machine registry and are always available.

You should either switch the the user account you are running inetd
as and then mount your drives, or if using LocalSystem mount them
with the -s (system) option.

That should work better...

Beyond that I can't guess.

Just a guess, but are you running inetd as some other user (rather than
something like LocalSystem)?

It could be that you have a separate set of user mounts for the user that
inetd runs as.  Unless you are running some other Cygwin application, as
soon as your first mount completes, cygwin1.dll is unloaded.  Then, when you
start inetd, cygwin1.dll loads again and processes the mount table based on
the user that inetd runs as.  However, inetd doesn't exit as a service, and
thus when you run mount the next time, it uses the already loaded
cygwin1.dll and "inherits" (or rather shares) the mount setup that inetd
triggered.

I'd check your registry for the Cygwin mount table information.  If you're
going to be using services, you may be better off establishing your mounts
as system mounts and avoiding user mounts for consistency, unless you're
very careful.

Tsk, tsk, tsk.  All of that work for not.  Based on what you currently have
your mount table should be:

c:\cygwin           /                   user         textmode
c:\cygwin\bin       /usr/bin            user         textmode
c:\cygwin\lib       /usr/lib            user         textmode

I installed the entire sygwin package from the net.
I created the passwd and group files with the mk programs.
Everything LOOKS okay in the group and passwd files with the exception of a proper home path. I added it and got the same results. I attacked the stackdump to this email as well.

Did you install the `login' package, too?
Did you create your /etc/passwd and /etc/group files with
the provided tools `mkpasswd' and `mkgroup'?
Did you take a look into that files if anything is as
needs it (home path, shell)?

telnet problems with current cygwin version

[Edward Muller]

I downloaded and installed the current cygwin version last night.

I mounted all of my dirs and the mount looks like this:
Device              Directory           Type         Flags
c:\cygwin\bin       /bin                user         textmode
c:\cygwin\etc       /etc                user         textmode
c:\cygwin\lib       /lib                user         textmode
c:\cygwin\tmp       /tmp                user         textmode
c:\cygwin\usr       /usr                user         textmode
c:\cygwin\var       /var                user         textmode
c:\cygwin           /                   user         textmode

I installed inetd with the --install-as-service option and everything looked like it was going to rok okay, until I tried telneting to localhost. I am able to ftp fine BTW. I noticed that whenever I tried to telnet to localhost in.telnetd would startup in the task list, then die. So I stopped inetd and ran the following:
bash-2.04$ ./in.telnetd -debug

When I try to telnet to the telnet deamon, the above command exists with the following error:
      0 [main] in.telnetd 1058 handle_exceptions: Exception: STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION
   3600 [main] in.telnetd 1058 stackdump: Dumping stack trace to in.telnetd.exe.stackdump

I'm running windows 2K professional.

Anyone know what I missed?
