Corinna: Thanks for info re the Event Viewer info. I thought that would have been more useful than it is.
I believe I have set up cygserver as directed; perhaps not: @lester:~% cygrunsrv -LV Service : cygserver Display name : CYGWIN cygserver Current State : Running Controls Accepted : Stop Command : /usr/sbin/cygserver stdin path : /dev/null stdout path : /var/log/cygserver.log stderr path : /var/log/cygserver.log Process Type : Own Process Startup : Automatic Account : LocalSystem Service : sshd Display name : CYGWIN sshd Current State : Stopped Command : /usr/sbin/sshd -D stdin path : /dev/null stdout path : /var/log/sshd.log stderr path : /var/log/sshd.log Environment : CYGWIN="'ntsec notraverse'" Process Type : Own Process Startup : Manual Account : LocalSystem @lester:/etc% ls -l cygserver.conf -rw-rw-r-- 1 SYSTEM root 5138 Apr 19 05:28 cygserver.conf I have not uncommented any lines in cygserver.conf. @lester:/etc% diff cygserver.conf defaults/etc/cygserver.conf 10:39:24 @lester:/etc% Lester On Jul 10 09:39, Lester Ingber wrote: > Whenever I start Cygwin on our Thinkpads/XP Pro SP2 with cygserver started > at boot, I get a series of Errors in my Event Viewer -> Application. > As far as I can tell everything is running OK, but I don't see how to > get rid of these reported errors? > > The description for Event ID ( 0 ) in Source ( Cygwin ) cannot be > found.

This is the only relevant part of the event log entry which has been produced by cygserver. The first error message indicates an "access denied" error, which lets me assume you're running cygrunsrv under a non-privileged account. Unfortunately, from your cygcheck output it's not visible under which user account cygserver is running. Are you starting it via cygrunsrv? Under the SYSTEM (LocalSystem) account? The output of `cygrunsrv -LV' shows that. If it's not running under the LocalSystem account, please change that and try again.
