Argh!! The search function is temporarily disabled for the archives. I know
these questions are answered in the archives somewhere.
Please feel free to point me to documentation. Give me advice today and you
help me today. Give me a pointer to documentation and you help me for life. Or
is that fish. ;)

Ok so far.

1) How is the account of a service determined. I see no reference to it in the
service control. Should I create a special account just for inetd? Does
this help me control security? Or do I just use the administrators account?
I will be up 24x7 so security will be an important issue.
2) How do I create mount tables for various accounts? Actually what I really
want to know is where is the cygwin mount behavior documented. I have been
meaning to figure out how to switch to binary mounts anyway. So far I have
a vanilla install with whatever mount table the install gave me. Since I
have only a large C: drive this works but is probably not optimal.
3) As long as I am asking, where is the documentation for the cygwin32
environment variables? I see them mentioned often on this list but I have
never seen the doc.
4) Is this the same inetd package that comes with linux. Can I use that doc to
figure out configuration issues?
Thanks and sorry for cluttering the bandwidth with previously answered
questions.
