I've found on cygwin that I need to explicitly tell it where the config file is, both on the command line and with cygrunsrv. I haven't investigated; perhaps the platform default is some other file. These commands work for me: rsync --config=/etc/rsyncd.conf --daemon and cygrunsrv -I "RSYNC" -p /bin/rsync.exe -a '--config=/etc/rsyncd.conf --daemon --no-detach' Craig -- To unsubscribe or change options: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/rsync Before posting, read: http://www.tuxedo.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
