inetd problems

[Fifer, Eric]

I was having a couple problems with inetd in the latest
inetutils-1.3.2-4.  Below is a patch that works around
my problems.

First, I wasn't able to start inetd with debugging because
some service manager code needed to be skipped over.

Second, after running "inetd --install-as-service", in
the Services Manager for "CYGWIN inetd", "System Account" was
selected and *everything* was greyed out (so I couldn't
change it to another account).  Although inetd started
up, all attempts to start a subprocess failed with
"fork: No more processes" (from the Event Viewer).
And, I needed to start it up with a different Account
that has permissions to access some remote drives.

I think what I observed is related to my account
being in the Administrators group, but I do not have
access to the Administrator account.  The switch
to SERVICE_WIN32_OWN_PROCESS allowed me to do what
I want.

Has anyone else seen this?

Thanks.
