error starting cron on nt4

[Erik Bak-Mikkelsen <ebm at oss dot dk>]

Hi cygwinners,
please, I have a problem in starting cron on an nt4.0.
I have installed the cron service using the srvany from the res.kit.
However, when I from a bash or cmd shell issue the command:
myuser@myserver /bin$ net start cron

I get the following error:
The service is not responding to the control function.

More help is available by typing NET HELPMSG 2186.

At the same time the following entry is generated in the EventLog:
The cron service failed to start due to the following error: 
The service did not respond to the start or control request in a 
timely fashion.  

What could be wrong?
Registry, env. vars, permissions, passwd, group?
