rsync, cygrunsrv, ash and also bash ...

Which compression is used by rsync, built in?  zlib is a .dll so you
will need it if rsync is linked against zlib.

That will need packages 'man' and some terminal related stuff.

> use chroot = false
> strict modes = false
> hosts allow = *

> [backup]
> path = /usr/pub/rsync/
> read only = yes
> list = yes

> 3. create the service writing the following in your bash: cygrunsrv -I
> "RSYNC Daemon" -p /usr/bin/rsync -a '--config=/etc/rsyncd.conf --daemon'

cygrunsrv -I rsyncd -d "RSYNC Daemon" -p /usr/bin/rsync \
 -a '--config=/etc/rsyncd.conf --daemon' -e CYGWIN='binmode tty ntsec'

see above.

> Suggestions?

Some hints for selfbuilders?
