Oh, you can't open it when there's not one bound? Fair enough.
Must be syslogd then. Chris M, did you run the syslogd-config script or
install it manually?
Service : syslogd
Display name : CYGWIN syslogd
Current State : Running
Controls Accepted : Stop
Command : /usr/sbin/syslogd -D
stdin path : /dev/null
stdout path : /var/log/syslogd.log
stderr path : /var/log/syslogd.log
Process Type : Own Process
Startup : Automatic
Account : LocalSystem
Hmm, looks right though. (Interestingly enough both the config script and
the cygwin-specific readme refer to an apparantly-bogus "-a" flag. I'm on
1.3.2-29.) Perhaps it's one of the destinations in syslog.conf that is the
source of the problem then. What's your syslog.conf look like?
cheers,
DaveK
