The local computer may not have the necessary registry information or message DLL files to display messages from a remote computer. The following information is part of the event: init : PID 1948 : starting service `' failed: redirect_fd: open (1, /var/log/init.log): 2, No such file or directory. cygrunsrv seems to be creating the /var/log directory directly in my c: drive instead of under the cygwin directory in my C: drive. Any suggestions? thanks, -jeff PS just for the heck of it I tried to start xinetd with the same sygrunsrv command line and got the identical error message above, but with init.log replaced by xinetd.log. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
