Win32 Version?

[Nitin Agarwal]

Hi Everybody!!!!!
We are using Rsync on NT/2000 platform to backup files from NT to NT and NT to Unix
Platforms.
There is one problem (could be a bug in cygwin) which i m facing. The problem is
described below:

Rsync services run well till the time the server is logged off (i.e... Server is
switched on... booted... logon screen comes ... rsync workes well.... then we logon
to the server....rsync works well..... then as soon as we logoff from the
server..... rsync HANGS!!!!!!)

After this, we have to restart the service. (Although Rsync service shows as
running and no error events in event viewer as well)....

i have tried many possibilities but no success... please help.!!!!
Thanks in Advance
