[10 minutes later] I found no informations on cygwin.com, but google gives me an "HOWTO Configure inetd to run under Cygwin for Windows 2000 or XP Pro" : http://www.adamswann.com/library/2001/Cygwin-Inetd.html [...] > Then try to telnet into your box, using root as the userid, and > the administrators password. > > HTH, & YMMV, but it's what worked for me. It works for me now (eg login as root) :-) ... except this :-( $ dpkg -i dpkg_1.9.18_w32.deb dpkg: `ldconfig' not found on PATH. dpkg: `update-rc.d' not found on PATH. dpkg: 2 expected program(s) not found on PATH. NB: root's PATH should usually contain /usr/local/sbin, /usr/sbin and /sbin. -- Julien Gilles
