Solved: rsh: "Permission denied" on file creation. Cygwin 1.3.3 on W2K Adv Srv SP2.

Thanks Peter. I made inetd run as "libx" and now everything works (of course
only for libx, but that's fine for my system).

If you are running inetd as a service on the cygwin box, 
the default account it runs as is SYSTEM. You can change 
this to be a real account- SYSTEM is "an NT artifact" and 
really has very few effective rights, other than being 
able to run things as a service. The user that you run 
the inetd service as (an admin equivalent is recommended, 
especially for testing purposes until you figure out what 
rights you need or don't need) may need additional rights, these 
can be found in the inetutils-1.x.x-README file in 
/usr/doc/cygwin, or maybe it is in the FAQ, I am not sure.

HTH,
Peter
