error setting up ipc-daemon

[Randall R Schulz]

Igor,

I was under the impression that the currently recommend way to get 
inetd running as a cygwin service was this:

     inetd --install-as-service

The resulting Windows service does not use cygrunsrv to invoke 
inetd--it is launched directly:

Path to executable: D:\cygwin\usr\sbin\inetd.exe
