Howdy. I checked the archives, but didn't see anything that would shed light on the situation.
I have a fresh Cygwin install, along with Rsync, on a Win2k box. I would like to set up rsync as a daemon. The rsync daemon currently works - I can start up cygwin, type "rsync --daemon --no-detach" and I have a server running. I can transfer files, no sweat, config file works great. I would like to run the rsync daemon as a service, though not using the Local account. I've successfully set it up successfully before (using cygrunsrv), but I'd like to have it run as a certain user. So I used cygrunsrv to delete it, then typed the following: cygrunsrv --install rsync_daemon --user mynetwork\\theusername --desc "rsync daemon from cygwin" --path /usr/bin/rsync -a "--daemon --no-detach" It then asks for the password, which I type in twice. (I tried just using theusername, but it apparently wanted the domain name for the account). It appears to work - everything looks good in Services, but when I try to start I get an error message that the service could not start, and the computer did not return an error. Does anyone have any suggestions? Like I said, if I add it without the --user it works and starts just fine, but it won't start when created with --user. Any help appreciated. Thanks.
