Hi. I installed xinetd and tftp-server recently, ran xinetd-config and
tftpd-config, and enabled /etc/xinetd.d/tftp. However, I was getting the
following error in Windows Event log:
xinetd: PID 2280: Service tftp missing attribute user - DISABLING
Workaround:
# The xinetd user name must exist in /etc/passwd
# We have to strip "MYHOST+" from "MYHOST+cyg_server" to make xinetd match
the entry
mkpasswd.exe | sed 's/^[^:]*\(cyg_server\):/\1/;t;d' >>/etc/passwd
Commenting "user=cyg_server" is not needed and won't help because then xinetd
looks for the current user in /etc/passwd
By the way, cygsshd runs fine as NT_AUTHORITY\SYSTEM on Windows 10 and can
serve both local and domain users. I just had to strip the machine prefix in
/etc/passwd for the local users. Perhaps /usr/share/doc/Cygwin/xinetd.README is
outdated?
