Administator?  I don't think that's needed, the installation is on=20

What about the command used by cygrunsrv:=20

Nothing I can see, unless it's a very obvious "No Cygwin in global=20
PATH", i.e. not the Cygwin PATH you see in the terminal, but the Windows=20
PATH environment variable set in Computer -> Properties -> Advanced ->=20
Environment Variables.

Try enabling the log, and then see the last few lines of=20
/var/log/denyhosts.log .
