Windows event log shows only information events (id 0) from sshd, but  
/var /log/sshd.log showed:

/var/empty must be owned by root and not group or world-writable

Presumably that is my problem, since ls shows:

drwxr-xr-x+  2 cdr None  0 Jan  6 13:48 empty/

The simple hack of disabling privilege separation has given me a working 
system, which I am not  inclined to monkey with, but if I have problems 
in the future I'll pursue this track.  Thanks for the advice.
