telnetd doesn't give login: prompt

- Organization: http://freemail.web.de/
I (still) can't use telnet for my NT box. The test I'm stuck on is when I try to
run telnetd (i.e. without using inetd).
In one window I run:
$ /usr/sbin/in.telnetd -debug
and in another I run:
$ telnet $(uname -n)
I get the following:
Trying 139.21.89.82...
Connected to MYHOST@mycompany.de.
Escape character is '^]'.
Password:
that is, I'm prompted for a password without first having entered my login-id.
Naturally, no password works. Once I try something, I do indeed get a prompt
for a login-id:
Login incorrect
login:
Now, I'm trying to remember how it works on unix: init starts getty which, if I
remember correctly, paints the first login prompt and gets the login-id. At
that point, login(1) is called. Right?
What is the equivalent under Cygwin?
BTW, I created /etc/passwd w/ mkpasswd -d $USERDOMAIN -u $USERNAME
and:
$ lf /bin/cygwin*
/bin/cygwin1.dll*
I used (a while ago) iu-config to create the files in /etc.
and:
$ whence login
/cygdrive/d/cygwin/bin/login
$ echo $CYGWIN
ntsec
Any help will be appreciated...
