OK, so you're looking for ideas of things to check. The email archives are a good place to look. The documentation in /usr/doc/Cygwin, ditto. Despite what I'm interpreting as a typo, I'm guessing that your problem is that it can't change your user context. That's been discussed *allot* in many contexts (sshd, login, inetd, etc). It usually comes down to missed configuration setting. The front-runners here? A needed daemon isn't started as SYSTEM and ntsec isn't set in your CYGWIN environment variable (at the system level). But the docs and email archives talk about all kinds of problems and solutions. You might need to spend some time going through them.
