Did you read /usr/doc/Cygwin/openssh-2.3.0p1.README?

Don't forget to set the user rights of the user starting the
application which tries to change the user context (sshd,
login) according to the above documentation. A similar hint
is in /usr/doc/Cygwin/inetutils-1.3.2.README.

Then I suggest reading the online user docs http://cygwin.com/docs.html
and especially the corresponding part in the NTSEC chapter 
http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/ntsec.html#NTSEC-SETUID
