The thing is, I suppose, that it's not the fault of cygrunsrv's logging. It's a problem with xinetd internal logging, according to sources made by some kind of utility 'xlog' (I haven't heard about it). Precisely, I think, that the error is raised by function 'msg_init' in file 'msg.c', somewhere here (i use code cutting): type_of_xlog = XLOG_FILELOG ; xh = xlog_create( type_of_xlog, program_name, XLOG_PRINT_ID + XLOG_PRINT_PID, filelog_option_arg, LOG_OPEN_FLAGS, LOG_FILE_MODE ) ; if ( xh == NULL ) if ( type_of_xlog == XLOG_FILELOG ) return( "can't open log file" ) ; As, i don't have 'xlog' sources, I don't know what is the exact path of the trouble-making log file. However, I suspect that it might be a problem of doubling the logfile: cygrunsrv opens /var/log/xinetd.log to write his messages, and next xinetd tries to open the same file for his logging. How do you think, is it possible, and if so, what should I do to overcome the problem?
