Cygwin Password handling and Inetd configuration


Is there a reference regarding the inetd configuration and password setup for Cygwin ? I've installed the current version (which uname reports as 1.3.11).

At issue:

1. The /etc/inetd.conf seems conventional, but there is no /etc/services file installed, or documentation for port assignments. Is there some other file or method to re-assign TCP ports or new services ? If /etc/services isn't used, what is the correct configuration file ?

2. There is no longer a man page for /bin/passwd -- only a page for the openssl front end. Neither seems to work to change a user password and allow that user to log-in via the distribution in.telnetd or in.ftpd via /bin/passwd, or by using openssl passwd -crypt and manually adding the result to /etc/passwd.

3. Compiling other ftpd source code and substituting it for the in.ftpd in /etc/causes a core dump on getpeername() or getsockname().

Thanks,

Phil Smith
