Because I believe that is the clue. Cygwin doesn't use /etc/services! Instead it uses $SYSTEMROOT/system32/drivers/etc/Services. Perhaps the best solution would be: $ rm -f /etc/services $ ln -s $(cygpath -p $SYSTEMROOT/system32/drivers/etc) \ > /etc/services Then edit /etc/services to add the cvspserver line. > 3) started the server using cygrunsrv > > 4) "telnet localhost" -- this works > > 5) "telnet localhost 2401" -- get the following error > > Could not open a connection to host on port 2401 : Connect failed > > 6) view the log file /var/log/inetd.log -- it contains the following > > ADD : cvspserver proto=tcp, wait=0, user=root builtin=0 server=/bin/echo > FREE: cvspserver proto=tcp, wait=0, user=root builtin=0 server=/bin/echo > > Instead of "FREE..."
