This is the result of 'inetd -d', edited for brevity. ADD : talk proto=udp, wait=1, user=root builtin=0 server=/usr/sbin/in.talkd registered /usr/sbin/in.talkd on 19 ADD : ntalk proto=udp, wait=1, user=root builtin=0 server=/usr/sbin/in.talkd registered /usr/sbin/in.talkd on 20 ADD : cvspserver proto=tcp, wait=0, user=root builtin=0 server=/usr/bin/cvs FREE: cvspserver proto=tcp, wait=0, user=root builtin=0 server=/usr/bin/cvs
For some reason it immediately frees the cvspserver after adding it. I also find the register lines disconcerting. I know that on a normal Linux system, inetd has port info in /etc/services, which is missing from the cygwin install. I was assuming that it was getting that info from somewhere else. I guess I shouldn't assume. Do I need to add /etc/services?
