rsync - Jun 2003 - Installing rsync as a service on Windows 2000.

I was looking to install Rsync on a win2k server, the document telling you how
to do this (available at: http://samba.org/rsync/nt.html) is fairly out of date
and has a couple of mistakes.

An updated version of the "Rsync on NT" document is now available at:
http://www.tiarnan.phlegethon.org/rsyncntdoc.html

I think I've gotten rid of the mistakes, but if I've missed anything
feel free to point them out.
Thanks, your application got me out of a serious hole.

For those of us without the benefit of the M$ Windows NT or 2000
Resource Kit, cygwin's own cygrunsrv does the equivalent (or better)
job than the M$ instsrv/srvany.

An example for installing rsyncd as a WinXX service (assuming rsync.exe and
rsyncd.conf are in c:\rsyncd):

    cygrunsrv.exe -I "RSYNC" -p c:\rsyncd\rsync.exe -a
"--config=c:\rsyncd\rsyncd.conf --daemon --no-detach"

Then just use the Services panel to start the rsync service.  No need for
registry edits for the command-line arguments.
