Re: cygserver errors

[Lester Ingber <ingber at ingber dot com>]

I do have all Cygwin packages on my PC.  I assume that I must specifically
"activate" syslogd?

But why?  If the same info is in now the Windows event log, what else
would be learned?

Thanks.

:You need to install syslogd (part of inetutils) or syslog-ng, otherwise the messages will go to Windows event log.
