Yes, I am talking about the "rsync --daemon" command. On cygwin, I
don't get any error on the command-line, and duplicate daemons startup
just fine (I can see that in the ps list). When I kill the first
daemon, the clients can continue to connect, and fail only when I kill
the second instance also. Where is the log file located, I couldn't
find any after searching the entire cygwin installation for "*rsync*".

Thanks,
Hari
