Interesting problem installing cygserver

[Gregg Levine]

Hello!
I just attempted to run the cygserver-config program and instead I
received that instead:
GCL@CmdrSkywalker ~
$ /usr/bin/cygserver-config
Generating /etc/cygserver.conf file
chown: changing ownership of `/etc/cygserver.conf': Permission denied


Warning: The following function requires administrator privileges!

Do you want to install cygserver as service?
(Say "no" if it's already installed as service) (yes/no) yes
cygrunsrv: Error installing a service: OpenSCManager:  Win32 error 5:
Access is denied.


Installation of cygserver as service failed.  Please check the
error messages you got.  They might give a clue why it failed.

A good start is either you don't have administrator privileges
or a missing cygrunsrv binary.  Please check for both.

I happen to have both. Cygwin was installed using the defaults on this
laptop who is running Windows Seven and this is the latest of the 1.7
installers.

Anything else? Please feel free to ask.
