Again, the advice below is very generic, and has to do with services in
general, not xinetd in particular.

First off, see (and follow) the Cygwin problem reporting guidelines at
<http://cygwin.com/problems.html>, particularly the part about providing
the output of "cygcheck -svr" as an uncompressed text *attachment*.

$ net helpmsg 1062
The service has not been started.

$ net helpmsg 1067
The process terminated unexpectedly.

The weird part is that "net start" and "cygrunsrv -S" give different
errors, but maybe that's expected.  What does the Windows Event Log show?

Bingo.  Here's a guess (pending the output of "cygcheck -svr"): you
installed Cygwin for "Just Me" instead of "All Users".  Therefore, the
SYSTEM user doesn't see your mounts, and can't find the files.  Re-mount
all your mounts as system mounts (Google for "cygwin remount system" for a
recipe) and try starting your service again.

As said above, look in the Event Log, but I suspect that remounting your
mounts as system mounts will do the trick.
