Re: FW: Vista and CYGWIN telnet


Hello,

I'm a newbie here.

Have:
Cygwin: latest 1.7.1-1 packages (as for today)
OS: W2k

Experiencing same regression: telnetd starting through inetd, but no
authentication prompt (login not called?)
By regression I mean behavior change since upgrading my Cygwin version 1.5
(most probably).

Several mates of mine here did upgrade too and noone has telnet working, all
using SSH instead. Some have XP and one on Vista can't configure FTP either.

Tried debugging telnetd using "--authmode" and "--debug" options and looking
into syslogd messages (wrong way?) - no useful info obtained.

I think that's enough - respond if you anyway want the cygcheck output.

Could you provide some very vague solution ETA if possible?


Thanks and regards:
