Normal if it didn't run.

Looks fine, you'll have to run mkpasswd and mkgroup to get proper users and
groups but I don't think this is a problem now; later it may be.

Wrong, not needed and may make things worse.

Just to make sure that all the libraries are there (they should be):

$ cygcheck -f /usr/bin/cygz.dll /usr/bin/cygcrypt-0.dll /usr/bin/cygcrypto-=
0.9.8.dll

Then check the output of:

$ cygrunsrv -V -Q sshd

----------------------^^^^^^^^^^^

Is the last field the same? if not, try re-installing with a "local" user (=
with
Administrator or PowerUser privileges).
