Here is what happened when I tried to run the script:
$ ssh-host-config
*** Query: Overwrite existing /etc/ssh_config file? (yes/no) yes
*** Info: Creating default /etc/ssh_config file
*** Query: Overwrite existing /etc/sshd_config file? (yes/no) yes
*** Info: Creating default /etc/sshd_config file
*** Info: Privilege separation is set to yes by default since OpenSSH 3.3.
*** Info: However, this requires a non-privileged account called 'sshd'.
*** Info: For more info on privilege separation read /usr/share/doc/openssh/READ
ME.privsep.
*** Query: Should privilege separation be used? (yes/no) yes
*** Warning: The permissions on the directory /var are not correct.
*** Warning: They must match the regexp d..x..x..[xt]
*** ERROR: Problem with /var directory. Exiting.

Since you plan to use a local user for ssh/sftp, you can skip the mkgroup issue for now.

I'd like to see your 'cygcheck -srv' output and what 'ls -l /etc/group /etc/passwd' says.
*Attach* the former to your reply when you're ready to look at this issue.
