I have the same problem. Rsyncd configured as a service starts manually just fine. It does not start when the system boots. The service manager complains in the system logs: Timout (30000 milliseconds) waiting for rsyncd service to connect. Then: The rsync service failed to start due to the following error: The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion.
I tried making rsyncd dependent upon other services that start later during boot but no change. Rsyncd it being added as a service like this: cygrunsrv.exe -I rsyncd -e CYGWIN=nontsec -p e:/rsyncd/rsync.exe -a "--config=e:/rsyncd/rsyncd.conf --daemon --no-detach" The service is running as the SYSTEM account which has r/w permisisons to the rsyncd directory. If I open a Cmd window as the SYSTEM user(1) and do a "net start rsyncd" it starts fine. System is Win XP Pro Version, 2002, Service Pack 2. Other non-SP2 machines work just fine. Rsyncd is verison 2.6.2_0 from here: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=34854 Thanks, Erik 1) To open the cmd window as SYSTEM: Open a Cmd window. Do "time /t" to get current time, 6:01 for example. Enter "at 18:02 /interactive cmd" and wait. A Cmd window should open at the time specified.
