well, to be quite frank, i did exactly what you did. used cygwin.. changed
Makefile.. etc

Although I *was* using an older version (4.3.4), so that *may* solve the
problem.

Hello;

If you are informed about the cygwin environment, available under
www.cygwin.com
a project managed by RedHat, you may try compiling services there. The
result is the following:

enygma at E304 ~
$ uname -a
CYGWIN_NT-5.0 E304 1.1.7(0.31/3/2) 2000-12-25 12:39 i686 unknown

enygma at E304 ~
$ cd /usr/local/sbin/

enygma at E304 /usr/local/sbin
$ ./services

enygma at E304 /usr/local/sbin
$ tail /usr/local/lib/services/services.log
[Jan 23 10:37:05 2001] Services 4.4.8 (compiled for ircd.dal Bahamut)
starting up
[Jan 23 10:37:05 2001] Databases loaded
[Jan 23 10:37:08 2001] NickServ:
TimeMr14C!Joseph_14 at hadie304.hadiko.uni-karlsruhe.de identified for nick
TimeMr14C

The compilation was completely non problematic, except one thing that ought
to be changed in
configure script. mkdir itself is working a little different. But it is the
only change needed.
And you also have to convince the Makefile to use services.exe as well.

I proclaim that there is absolutely no problem in services working, but,
this may be the result
of the cygwin working under Win2K, which *has* user management, where Win98
does not. And cygwin
uses this user management.

Best regards;
yusuf
