rsync 2.5.5 and rsync 2.5.6 both work fine for me. Is it possible that rsync is already running as a service? It won't show up in cygwin's ps. For example, when rsync is running via cygrunsrv, if I type: rsync --daemon it exits with no error, but ps shows no process. But rsync is indeed running, eg: tcsh 438% telnet localhost 873 Trying 127.0.0.1... Connected to XXXX. Escape character is '^]'. @RSYNCD: 26 quit @ERROR: protocol startup error Connection closed by foreign host. You can also see rsync.exe in the windows task manager. You could also try a different port number to see if there is someone else on 873: craigslt 461% ps aux | egrep rsync craigslt 462% rsync --daemon --port=1234 craigslt 463% ps aux | egrep rsync 4020 1 4020 4020 ? 1005 23:29:08 /bin/rsync Craig -- To unsubscribe or change options: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/rsync Before posting, read: http://www.tuxedo.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
