If you've already run ssh-host-config, then doing the above is just going
to start the service with the user specified at install time, either
SYSTEM or sshd_server.  Your best bet is to uninstall the service and
reinstall it specifying the user you want.  Include the password too.

'cygrunsrv --uninstall sshd' should uninstall the current service.
See 'ssh-host-config' for how to invoke 'cygrunsrv' to install with a
particular user.  Sorry, can't be more specific than that at the moment.
I don't have Cygwin handy. ;-)
