Did you set CYGWIN in the W2K system environment and then did you reboot?
That's essential when starting a service.
Another thing which is important is that /etc/group exists when running
apps to change user context (login/sshd/ftpd). Is it ok? Otherwise
just create it like your passwd: mkgroup -l >/etc/group
