I've found on cygwin that I need to explicitly tell it where the
config file is, both on the command line and with cygrunsrv.  I
haven't investigated; perhaps the platform default is some other
file.

These commands work for me:

    rsync --config=/etc/rsyncd.conf --daemon

and

    cygrunsrv -I "RSYNC" -p /bin/rsync.exe -a '--config=/etc/rsyncd.conf --daemon --no-detach'
