No, it's not.  You can reset all the permissions to be the way they should 
be to
run as the privileged user.  See '/bin/ssh-host-config' and the related 
scripts it calls.
Look for spots where it's changing ownerships and permissions and make sure 
yours
match what's there for the privileged user on your system (SYSTEM for XP, 
cyg_server
for later O/S versions).

Thanks Marco for picking up on my cygcheck sshd typo,
