Below is what I usually recommend as the first Cygwin troubleshooting
step when something that is verified to work does not work as
expected.

In case of weird problems it is often easier to:
    * delete installed services (e.g. ''sc delete cron; sc delete sshd'');
    * delete((Right-click MyComputer -> Manage -> Local Users and
Groups -> Users)) users and groups created by Cygwin packages (e.g.
sshd, sshd_server, crond, cyg_server);
    * remove corresponding user folders from ''Documents and
Settings'' directory;
    * remove Cygwin tree (it might be necessary to manually fix
permissions for some files via IE in order to do this); and finally
    * install Cygwin from scratch.
