I've been using the Dlls extracted from Cygwin and an executable that 
was supposedly developed originally for nt4, but has been tested on 2k, 
and I am assuming will work on xp/2k3, but so far I seem to be wrong.

Cygwin's great, and MKS also has some similar features, but I can't do 
the overhead of the whole cygwin thing- I need a streamlined procedure 
for this client. Everything seems to work but the rsync service: it 
tries to start but won't stay up, which is killing me, cuz I keep 
reading about all these cases where it works flawlessly, like you say...

any ideas? suggestions for similar replacements anyone?
