Does it have to be a domain user? If not, create a local one and give it
the permissions outlined in '/usr/share/doc/cygwin/openssh.README' from the
"Important note for windows 2003 Server users:" section. Or just look at
what '/bin/ssh-host-config' does. If it has to be a domain user for some
reason, I guess you can try the above on the machine in question for that
user but I really don't know enough about how domain user permissions can
(or can't) be augmented on local machines to say how this will work (and I
don't have a domain to test against currently).
