Yes I read it, along with everything else in /usr/doc/cygwin,
/usr/doc/openssh, and http://www.openssh.org/faq.html. I am not having
any problem getting sshd to run as a service, that is using the system
account as expected. Actually sshd is the only thing in the install that
is working as expected. As I have said a couple of times now, I can't
get a basic shell to work except from a system owned window. This has
nothing to do with ssh. The closest comment I see is in login.README:
   For usage with NT/W2K security, `login' is patched to allow login of
   domain users.  Setting CYGWIN=ntsec is mandatory for that feature.
I am not using a domain, and setting CYGWIN to null or ntsec makes no
difference.

Again, does anyone have cygwin working on .net server, and if so was
there anything unique about the configuration? If people have it working
without incident, obviously I have something wrong with my install, or
possibly something carries over in a W2k upgrade that isn't there in a
fresh install. The way this is acting I suspect there is a change to the
way MS handles rights and permissions because I have a simple
member-server configured in a workgroup. There is nothing special about
the accounts because they are all local.

If it makes any difference I last installed from:
ftp%3a%2f%2fftp.nas.nasa.gov%2fmirrors%2fcygwin.com%2fpub%2fcygwin
