Still haven't heard an answer for this question.

Meantime I decided to try to start over. I recreated /etc/passwd and 
/etc/group with mkpasswd -l -d and mkgroup -l -d and ran the 
ssh-host-config script. (BTW: the old /etc/passwd, /etc/group was a copy 
of files created and shared with all machines. When created we used -o 0 
to change the default offset in uid/gids from 10000 -> 0).

I'm trying to get ssh working now as I deleted the inetd service using 
inetd --remove-as-service and it marked the inetd service as disabled 
and "marked for deletion" so I'll have to reboot to get that to finally 
delete. Meantime attempting to get ssh to work I now get:

$ ssh localhost
Read from socket failed: Connection reset by peer
$ cat /var/log/sshd.log
      5 [main] sshd 8680 C:\Cygwin\usr\sbin\sshd.exe: *** fatal error -

error 0.  Terminating.

Also, the Event Viewer states:

Event Type:    Error
Event Source:    sshd
Event Category:    None

Description:
The description for Event ID ( 0 ) in Source ( sshd ) cannot be found. 
The local computer may not have the necessary registry information or 
message DLL files to display messages from a remote computer. You may be 
able to use the /AUXSOURCE= flag to retrieve this description; see Help 
and Support for details. The following information is part of the event: 
sshd: PID 6808: fatal: mm_request_receive: read: Software caused 
connection abort.

Any clues?
