I would expect the group owner to be Administratoren not root and the
user owner of run to be faroul or root:
	# ls -dl /var/{run,empty}/
drwxr-xr-x+ 1 cyg_server Administrators 0 Nov 19  2013 /var/empty/
drwxrwxrwt+ 1 userid     Administrators 0 May 23 19:01 /var/run/

except on my system actually /var/run -> ../run, as on Linux, and don't
have any problems - I have a bunch of Linux-compatible symlinks all
over, including to Windows directories for homes and other non-Cygwin
stuff, and other similar customizations to make working with Windows
from Cygwin easier, with no problems.

You might want to try:
	# chgrp Administratoren /var/{empty,run}
	# chown root /var/run
or compare your old and current directories:
	# ls -dl {/proc/cygdrive/c/cygwin32,}/var/{empty,run}
and reset security by reference to your old directories:
	# chown --reference {/proc/cygdrive/c/cygwin32,}/var/empty
	# chgrp --reference {/proc/cygdrive/c/cygwin32,}/var/empty
	# chmod --reference {/proc/cygdrive/c/cygwin32,}/var/empty
	# chown --reference {/proc/cygdrive/c/cygwin32,}/var/run
	# chgrp --reference {/proc/cygdrive/c/cygwin32,}/var/run
	# chmod --reference {/proc/cygdrive/c/cygwin32,}/var/run

Ensure your /etc/passwd and /etc/group files are complete by adding
required entries with:
	# mkpasswd >> /etc/passwd
	# mkgroup  >> /etc/group
and edit those files carefully to remove any duplicates, and add any
missing fields to root.

Try typing:
	# id root
and see if root has all of the required group memberships like:
	# id SYSTEM
uid=18(SYSTEM) gid=18(SYSTEM) groups=544(Administrators),18(SYSTEM)
	# id Administrators
uid=544(Administrators) gid=544(Administrators) groups=11(Authenticated
Users),544(Administrators)

and add any missing group memberships to root in /etc/group.

Also check /etc/nsswitch.conf to ensure either the defaults, or your
settings, are appropriate, comprehensive, and necessary for your setup.

Last thought is to try:
	# find /var/run/ | xargs setfacl -bk
to remove ACLs and use only straight POSIX permissions, but you may want
to save those first by running getfacl once for each directory and file:
	# find /var/run/ | xargs savefacl.sh
where savefacl.sh loops thru all args, runs getfacl on each file and
saves each output in a unique file in some other directory like /tmp.

The current default in /etc/sshd_config for StrictModes is yes so we
should all be running like this unless manually changed, and no other
problems have been reported with this, although most probably use SAM
instead of files now.
