OK, I've changed many things since yesterday, so I'll write what I've done:
First of all, I removed cygwin completely from the disk and the registry,
and reinstalled it as Administrator (previously I installed it as user
Marcin).
Next, I made passwd and group files, and changed all dirs/subdirs/files to
be owned by Adminitrator, group Users.
Then I tried to run sshd service, so firstly (as Administrator) I run
$ ssh-host-config
and typed some yes'es. Then, I type:
$ cygrunsrv -S sshd
and guess what - error 1062. After some tries, I looked at
/var/log/sshd.log,
and found:
  Could not load host key: /etc/ssh_host_key
  Could not load host key: /etc/ssh_host_rsa_key
  Could not load host key: /etc/ssh_host_dsa_key
  Disabling protocol version 1. Could not load host key
  Disabling protocol version 2. Could not load host key
  sshd: no hostkeys available -- exiting.
So, I chmod'ed those files to 755 and everything went good from this point.
Then, I tried running:
$ cygrunsrv -S xinetd
but, the same story, error 1062. So, as you suggested, i made:
$ chmod a+rx *
in directories /bin and /usr/sbin. That didn't help, but now when I look at
/var/log/xinetd.log, I don't see nothing, but a couple of lines:
  xinetd: msg_init failed: can't open log file
I can't see a problem with this from this point, here's the listing of
/var/log:
total 1477

Well, looks like xinetd runs well when running as SYSTEM directly, under
SYSTEM owned shell. No errors, and I was even able to login using telnet
service. So, I guess the problem is not here.
