Jason, Thanks again for your help. I have gotten further, I configured the group and password files. Now I do get a log file produces when I try to start ipc-daemon2 as a service -- a transcript of my session follows: paul_sand@mverify3 ~ $ cygrunsrv -S ipc-daemon2 cygrunsrv: Error starting a service: QueryServiceStatus: Win32 error 1062: The service has not been started. paul_sand@mverify3 ~ $ ls /var/log apache exim ipc-daemon2.log setup.log setup.log.full wtmp paul_sand@mverify3 ~ $ cat /var/log/ipc-daemon2.log (ipc-daemon2) Unable to open "Sem" file: Permission denied (ipc-daemon2) Unable to start IPC-daemon ! Also, I am running Windows XP Professional as my OS.

I can't figure out what mkgroup will do for me. Cygwin requires a properly constructed /etc/group (and /etc/passwd) file to function properly.

Once again, are there any interesting events in the Event Log? What version of Windows are you using?
