I see two formatting arguments but only one parameter. Is that right?

cygcheck -V says 1.38 (is it the version number you needed to know?)
I made an update 2 days ago.

it gives the same result:

*** CreateFileMapping, Win32 error 0.  Terminating.

I am not sure whether I understand your question correctly.
The non privilieged users connect from any Windows system
via rdesktop to the Windows 2003 server and are trying to
open a cygwin shell on the Remotedesktor.

Here I'm lost. How do I do this?

SP 4 - 'strace true' prints out almost everything I can imagine
starting with Program name: C:\cygwin\bin\true.exe
