Troubles using xinetd

Tue May 13 07:39:00 GMT 2003

Hi,
Beside my 'sshd/multi-user' problem which is still pending, I am facing
an other issue on getting xinetd to work.
I tried to follow the Good pratices described in
http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2003-01/msg00282.html
But it seems that i am really 'unlucky' these days.
I re-installed 
 sysvinit
 chkconfig
 initscripts
then re-ran 'init-config', taking care to respond 'no' to
'overwrite an existing /etc/inittab ?' question.
'init' was then successfully installed and started as a windows service.
a 'ps -a' told me that 
 cygrunsrv
 init
 xinetd
were started with UID=18
Trying 'telnet -l USER1@serve_ip_address' gave me
"telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused"

I decided to try running xinetd alone in debug mode '-d', for that i did the
following
$ cygrunsrv -E init
$ xinetd -d (UID= that of USER1)
I could check that 'telnet' was well configured

-----------------------------------------------

I then opened another shell and tried 'telnet -l USER1 server_ip_address'
xinetd printed out the following
----------------------------------------------

telnet printed out the following

USER1 already has the three additional user rights mentioned in

Any help would be appreciated
