I'm trying to get the rsyncd service installed on a Win 7 pro system
as an administrative user. I'm using the rsyncd 2.6.8 package from
here:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/backuppc/files/cygwin-rsyncd/
When I run service.bat I get the error:
cygrunsrv: Error installing a service OpenSCManager: Win32 error 5:
Access is denied
I've gone to just installing the full cygwin package from cygwin.com.
I use this command to set up the rsyncd service.
c:cygwinbincygrunsrv.exe -I rsyncd -e CYGWIN=nontsec -p c:/cygwin/bin/rsync.exe -a "--config=c:/cygwin/etc/rsyncd.conf --daemon --no-detach"
With the new version of Cygwin, you no longer have to setup rsync as a daemon like this. You can use the rsync Xfer method instead of rsyncd. That may solve your issue.
