The only problem I run into once in a while is the XP firewall, but
adding all the .exe files of C:\Program Files\cwRsyncServer\bin to the
exceptions lists, so far, has worked like a charm.
Just thought i'd share with you this.....
I use the cygwin rsync from the backuppc site. its optimized to work
with backuppc. It too installs as a service and starts the rsyncd daemon
for you. In its package is a file called service.bat which contains...
cygrunsrv.exe -I rsyncd -e CYGWIN=nontsec -p c:/rsyncd/rsync.exe -a
"--config=c:/rsyncd/rsyncd.conf --daemon --no-detach"
cygrunsrv.exe --start rsyncd
To get around firewall issues in XP automatically add the following
lines to this file.....
netsh firewall set allowedprogram program = c:\rsyncd\rsync.exe name =
rsync mode = enable scope = CUSTOM addresses = LocalSubnet
netsh firewall set portopening protocol = TCP port = 873 name = rsyncd
mode = enable scope = CUSTOM addresses = LocalSubnet
netsh firewall set icmpsetting 8 enable
So i usually create a self-extracting zip file of the cygwin rsyncd from
backuppc site, get it to extract into c:\rsyncd and then have it run
c:\rsyncd\service.bat after extracting. Ofcourse i pre-editted
rsyncd.conf to suit my site needs.
The only caveat......programs like Windows AntiSpyware and -virus
programs will not allow a ".bat" file to be run automatically. So you
have to manually go into windows explorer and doubleclick on service.bat
yourself.

Les
