cygserver is in /usr/sbin.  invoke /usr/sbin/cygserver instead.  Make 
sure you set CYGWIN=server before invoking cygserver.

I've written a tutorial on how to install PosgreSQL on Cygwin.  It 
contains most of the instructions found on the READMEs in cygwin plus 
some explanation.  Check out the link:
http://www.geocities.com/cfflorendo/postgresql-cygwin.html

Maybe, the maintainer of cygserver should update the docs and specify 
that cygserver is at /usr/sbin.  The issue of cygserver not being found 
has been brought out twice in this list for the past week.

Thanks!
