Here are my steps to install and start rsync on Windows 2000. This is the working installation for the service: $ cygrunsrv -I rsyncd -d "RSYNC Daemon" -f "rsync file transfer service" \ -p /usr/bin/rsync -a '--config=/etc/rsyncd.conf --daemon --no-detach' \ -e CYGWIN='binmode tty ntsec' --user=Administrator Note the --user=Administrator Before installing the service make sure to have the configuration and variable files and paths permissions correct. 1 Delete previous rsyncd.* files from unsuccessful attempts 1.1 /var/run/rsyncd.pid 1.2 /var/run/rsyncd.lock 1.2 /var/log/rsyncd.log 1.3 /var/log/rsyncd.messages 2 chmod +t /tmp 3 Update configuration files 3.2 chown -R Administrator.Administrators /etc/rsyncd.conf 3.1 chown -R Administrator.Administrators /etc/rsyncd.d 3.2 chown -R Administrator.Administrators /etc/rsyncd.d/rsyncd.secrets 3.3 chmod u+rwx,g-rwx,o-rwx /etc/rsync.d 3.4 chmod u+rw,g-rwx,o-rwx /etc/rsync.d/rsyncd.secrets -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
