Hi All,

I'm having some problems getting xinetd to work through cygwin on my
Windows XP machine. Sysvinit seems to be calling xinetd correctly and
the service seems to be running when I run 'ps -a'. However, when I
attempt to telnet or ftp from the same machine locally (or non-locally
for that matter) I automatically get disconnected. The following appears
in servicelog:

03/4/11 AT 10:53:04: START: telnet pid=3056 from=127.0.0.1
03/4/11 AT 11:04:33: START: ftp pid=3988 from=127.0.0.1
03/4/11 AT 11:04:33: EXIT: ftp pid=3988 duration=0(sec)

I've checked my computer and there do not appear to be any firewalls
running or anything that would otherwise disable the service. My xinetd
configs are as follows:

-- xinetd.conf
defaults
{
	instances               = 60
        log_type                = FILE /var/log/servicelog
        log_on_success		= HOST PID
        log_on_failure		= HOST
	cps			= 25 30
}

includedir /etc/xinetd.d
--

-- xinetd.d/telnet
service telnet
{
	flags		= REUSE
	socket_type	= stream        
	wait		= no
	server		= /usr/sbin/in.telnetd
	log_on_failure	+= USERID
	user			= SYSTEM
	disable		= no
}
--

When I check the Windows event log for error messages (of which there
are some) I get the following text:

xinetd : PID 3652 : setuid failed: Permission denied (errno = 13).

Please advise as to what is stopping these services from running.

TIA...
