AFAIK, none of the core developers have a copy of Windows 2003 Server to test
this stuff on. So, if you want/need help, you'll have to try and debug this
yourself.

It looks as though Cygwin cannot switch user context to 'dobrin' on your
server, so the first place to start would be checking that the account that's
running the rshd service has the required privileges (see
<http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/ntsec.html#NTSEC-SETUID> for more) to switch
user context, normally SYSTEM (LocalSystem).
