Subject: How to setup.exe with rsync?

(If it won't take too much time you can email me back as either:
gtackett at yahoo.com
galen.tackett at dyncorp.com

but I'll be watching the mailing list too.)

Since setup.exe lists a couple of rsync servers, I would like to get
cygwin's rsync running so as to allow me to use those servers for installing
new bits of cygwin as needed. 

After searching around the web for help, I've managed to start rsyncd to the
point that I could do file operations within my single system, but that
didn't do the trick for getting setup.exe to use rsync. The rsyncd.conf file
I used was:

------
log file = /var/log/rsyncd.log
pid file = /etc/rsyncd.pid
[backup]
use chroot = false
strict modes = false
hosts allow = *
path = /usr/pub/rsync/
read only = yes
list = yes
------

and the commands to install and start the daemon were:

cygrunsrv -I "RSYNC Daemon" -p /usr/bin/rsync -a '--config=/etc/rsyncd.conf
--daemon'
cygrunsrv -S "RSYNC Daemon"

I've google-searched around on the web and newsgroups for more information
but haven't found anything that's improved on that.

(Note--lest the above rsync setup should be unsecure, I stopped the daemon
and removed the service)

Thanks for any help,

Galen
