[Lilux-help] Cygwin

Hi, I was wondering if anyone has experience with the Cygwin FOSS, obviously on the evil os (tm). I'm experiencing some behavior which I deem strange... So, first point: is there any way to get some logging in there? I didn't see syslog or such in the available software. 2. When I start inetd with -d flag (debug), the current console disappears, but stays running somewhere. How do I get it back? It's not in the alt-tab list, but after opening a second console and issuing a "ps -aef" I do see 2 bash processes running, I also see those two in the taskmanager. The 1st console stays gone even after inetd is terminated (kill). 3. I have installed amanda backup under cygwin (as documented on the amanda website). When I start inetd, indeed I get the port opened (udp 10080), but it looks like that takes amanda down, i.e. the port is thereafter closed. I'd have thought that inetd would restart it then, but it doesn't happen... no idea anyway why it would crash (had it running on a first try but had issues with authentication, thus I reinstalled). All this trouble because we need to get that amanda backup running on a housed server... and the old amanda-win32 stopped working there for no good reason at all. argl. Btw, in case someone wants to experiment with the stuff: if you want to uninstall Cygwin, don't forget to manually delete the corresponding services (say, sshd) via regedit. After a reinstall, things won't work otherwise. Greets & TIA, Eric
