Re: Running Linux Application on Windows

Is the documentation kinda wrong?

Yes, but that's something you'll have to take up with the people who maintain that file, presumably on the Samhain mailing list. Whoever wrote it doesn't realize that /usr, /home, etc aren't created in c:\, they're mount(1) aliases for directories that actually live in c:\cygwin, by default.

And why if I wanna run the application, we must first create a service
first? Is it some kind of permission that have to be set in a Windows
environment?

Whoever wrote that document probably doesn't know about cygrunsrv.
