When you run cygcheck -L it tries to OpenService() every service to look for Cygwin services, and it will bail if the call fails. I suppose that it's possible that one of your installed services has permissions set such that regular users can't open it. This might be set via permissions on the registry keys, I don't know how the service manager implements security. Anyway, if you're not running this command as an administrator, that might explain it. I suppose cygrunsrv could be modified to not bail on such an error and just continue trying to open the next service. But it would still be good to know why the error is happening in the first place.
