That isn't telling to you use -D on the cygrunsrv command line directly. It means that the sshd arguments should contain that parameter. I.e. you must include -D in the setting of the -a parameter, such as "cygrunsrv -I sshd -d "CYGWIN sshd" -p /usr/sbin/sshd -a -D" -D is not a cygrunsrv option, it is the predicate of the -a option. > ssh_host_*_key.pub are owned by the user that has run ssh-host-config > Is it OK ? If you ran the above commands they should be owned by SYSTEM. The idea here is that those files contain the private half of the host's public/private keypair, and this is sensitive data. So the file should be readable only by the account that runs the ssh daemon. If you are the only local user then it doesn't really matter much as you can be trusted, but on an actual multiuser posix system you would want to restrict the host key files accordingly.
