For you, perhaps.

SYSTEM does not have the proper permissions on Vista for 'sshd' to
run properly.  If 'ssh-host-config' did it's job correctly, it set
up a new user for this.  Look for 'sshd_server'.  If you have this,
then that's the user you want to use above and in all places where
you used 'SYSTEM'.
