/etc/passwd in a NT Domain- sep copy foreach box or sym links to just 1


Just got inetd, telnet and ftp working (using a password file
created with "mkpasswd -d").  

It would be nice if one could have single centrally located
passwd and group file so that each workstation could set up
a symbolic link to these in it's /etc directory.

I tried this- in general it works fine, but inetd seems to
insist on a simple file, not a symbolic link.  Is this
worth fixing; ie would you consider supporting the
symbolic link in a future release?

Thanks so much to everyone working on Cygwin, I really
appreciate the tools and the environment!!

regards,

Tom
