Hmm. You should also check that /etc/cygserver.conf is readable by SYSTEM and that /var/log/cygserver.log is readable and writable by SYSTEM. You could always just do "chown SYSTEM:root" and "chmod 644" on them if unsure, but I suspect they're fine. Only other thing I can think of is that something else in the DLL path required for cygserver lacks read and execute permission for SYSTEM. cygcheck reports that the only DLL that cygserver depends on is the main cygwin1.dll, so verify that it has r and x for SYSTEM. If none of that works, then you'll have to get some more info about the failure. Two ways that come to mind would be to add "-d" to the cygserver commandline (use cygrunsrv to remove and reinstall the service, or just edit the key of the registry); and getting a bash prompt as SYSTEM and launching it from the console and see what happens (google the list archives for "sysbash".)
