Before you run Cygserver for the first time, you should run the
/usr/bin/cygserver-config script once. It creates the default
configuration file and, upon request, installs Cygserver as service
when running under NT. The script only performs a default install,
with no further options given to Cygserver when running as service.
Due to the wide configurability by changing the configuration file,
that's typically not necessary.

On Windows 9x/Me, just start Cygserver in any console window. It's
advisable to redirect stderr to a file of choice (e. g.
/var/log/cygserver.log) and to use the -e and -Y options or the
set the appropriate settings in the configuration file (see below).
