Hi,

I encountered a problem when running RSync as a service on Widnows 2003. The followign checklist should help you diagnose and sort out the problem is you have a similar problem:

6 Check C:\Program Files\ICW\sshd-stderr.log. If there are any errors of the type: WARNING: UNPROTECTED PRIVATE KEY FILE!. Correct as follows:
6.a cd C:\Program Files\ICW\Bin
6.b (for each file in C:\Program Files\ICW\sshd-stderr.log)
6.b.1 "C:\Program Files\ICW\Bin\chmod" -v 0600 <filename - including directory>
6.c Delete the pid file in C:\Program Files\ICW\var\run if it exists
6.d Delete C:\Program Files\ICW\sshd-stderr.log and restart server (or stop and start services)
6.e Verify that everything works well.
 

Hope this helps,
