Just wanted to know if anyone else has used this combination of
software.

When I access nfs mounted drives (using microsoft nfs) with the inetd
the symlinks magically disappear (they dont appear with ls and I can
change into that directory either). When I view the directory locally
with cygwin (or explorer), there is no problem with the symlinks.

My question is: Exactly how does the inetd work that it could cause this
effect. The only though I have is that the inetd is somehow changing the
login state which is effecting the nfs mount.
