It works for me too, but is there another solution? One problem is that
I'm not sitting at the desktop. Another more serious problem is that
programs which process the output stream don't work when run through the
inetd.

E.g. The following code when compiled with gcc --mno-cygwin (or cl)
doesn't have any output to process when run through the inetd:

  #include <stdio.h>

  int main()
  {
    char psBuffer[128];
    FILE *output;

    if ((output = _popen("nm a.exe", "r")) == NULL ) exit(1);
    while(!feof(output))
      if(fgets(psBuffer, 128, output) != NULL) printf(psBuffer);
    printf("\nProcess returned %d\n", _pclose(output));
  }

This problem is affecting a non-cygwin program that we use, so we have
to log on locally to use this program. :(
