Win2k3's SYSTEM account by default doesn't have all the rights necessary
to switch user contexts. One (rather non-obvious, IMO) place to find some
details on this is /usr/share/doc/Cygwin/openssh.README. This information
(verbatim from the above README, from "Important note for Windows 2003
Server users" to "Increase quota") should really be part of
<http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/ntsec.html#NTSEC-SWITCH>.
HTH,
Igor
