Starting using cygrunsrv is the recommended way. Your problems
sound somewhat unrelated to Cygwin sshd. I'm running sshd all the
time and I'm working through an ssh connection to my Windows boxes
on a daily basis. All sshds are installed as service via cygrunsrv
under SYSTEM account and all have "CYGWIN=binmode tty ntsec" in
their environment setting. They are all easily startable and
stopable by e.g. `cygrunsrv -S (-E) sshd' or `net start (stop) sshd'.
Did you check your passwd and group files, did you check the
ownership of the host key files?

You have a problem with your W2K box,

Correct. Think "NT user rights".
