Service stopping

[Rodrigo]

I put a program to run as a service in a WindowsXP but I'm
having a problem with it: every time the service is
stopping whithout any reason and I'm having to restart it.

The program is the Identd, a daemon to authenticate users
in a net with firewall.

Does anyone have a suggestion?

Thanks a lot!

There's no way for us to know why it's happening without
additional information. Unless the app was specifically
designed to be able to run as a service, you may
encounter problems such as this - you'd need to get
logging information, event log errors, etc, and see if
the application's vendor can help you out.

Not all apps will work successfully as services.
