I do have all Cygwin packages on my PC. I assume that I must specifically
"activate" syslogd?
But why? If the same info is in now the Windows event log, what else
would be learned?
Thanks.

:You need to install syslogd (part of inetutils) or syslog-ng, otherwise the messages will go to Windows event log.
