Thanks for the reply René. I didn't know pigtail.net was so notorious, now I know to rely on the official mailing list first (although i dunno what i would have done differently if i didn't visit pigtail.net, as all i did was use setup.exe and then exim-config). As you can see below, I'm still u

I am able to add the user 'nobody' and assign it to group 'Users' and then set local policy in windows so that 'nobody' can 'logon as a service'. I was expecting that I could define a service to start Apache and then use 'net start/stop' to control it. Well, I can define the service with cygrunsr

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" a
