Now that I finally realized which "Michael" you were talking about in the
subject, I have to say that this list does not provide support for
truncated versions of Cygwin downloaded from other sites, such as Michael
Erdely's openssh installation. However, the instructions would be the
same for the official Cygwin version of openssh, so it's good that this
discussion is in the archives.

P.S. FYI, to avoid the "Could not chdir to home directory /home/SSHUSER:
No such file or directory" message, edit your /etc/passwd and change
"/home/SSHUSER" to "/cygdrive/d/ssh_shared" (again, works on Cygwin, too)
