Inetd and telnetd

Hi (NT 4.0 SP3, latest b19 with coolview)

I used to have a working configuration of Serguey's remote tools.
/usr/local/ was on a local disk while all the rest of cygnus
tools where on a networked disk. Since /usr/local/bin was growing
too large, I decided to put as much as I could on a networked
disk (Novell). Now inetd and telnetd stopped working.

I figure out that I needed cygwinb19.dll on a local disk and
inetd.exe also, otherwise NT refuses to start inetd.exe as a
service (anybody knows if it is possible to start it from a
networked disk, I haven't been able).

Inetd starts OK and installs as a service, but does not respond
to outside calls.

telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: error 111

My mount table is now:
\\.\X:\Cygnus\B19\H-i386-cygwin32\users /users
native      text=binary
\\.\X:\Cygnus\B19\H-i386-cygwin32\tmp /tmp
native      text=binary
\\.\X:\Cygnus\B19\H-i386-cygwin32\etc /etc
native      text=binary
E:               /e                  native      text=binary
\\.\TAPE1:       /dev/st1            native      text=binary
\\.\TAPE0:       /dev/st0            native      text=binary
\\.\NUL:         /dev/null           native      text=binary
\\.\NUL:         /dev/nul            native      text=binary
\\.\B:           /dev/fd1            native      text=binary
\\.\A:           /dev/fd0            native      text=binary
C:               /boot               native      text=binary
\\.\X:\Cygnus\B19\H-i386-cygwin32\bin /bin
native      text=binary
X:\Cygnus\B19\H-i386-cygwin32        /
native      text=binary

E and C are local disks (E=NTFS, C=FAT16), X is a (Novell)
network disk.

Thanks,
