Services won't start, precisely the point.  The requested change here is
that when "Just Me" is selected that a warning would be displayed indicating
this fact.

Search the net...  It's not a configuration problem, or if it is, it's
affected many many users without any apparent resolution available.  Have a
glance at the results returned by Google for these search texts:

"win32 error 1062"
cygwin "Could not load host key"

You'll see, as I have, that it's all but assuredly not a configuration
issue.  The likely issue here is one with rights (Not owned by 'SYSTEM' and
dir attributes).  The two directories that this is entails are /var/log and
/var/empty.  As I said prior, I believe I know of a way of resolving the
issue, but it entails rebooting to safe mode and other details which isn't
important to someone that's gotten a fair kludge working.

Cheers,
Greg
