Yep the SYSTEM is listed alright. I already created the passwd file 
multiple times, before and after ssh installation. I do not know what 
all those numbers in it but as far as I can see the users and their 
default folders listed fine there. I can pretty much see all the defined 
users including the ssh setup based users.

"mkpasswd -cl > /etc/passwd" was the command I have used multiple times.


The weird thing was that the Cygwin+Ssh installation on Win7 was the 
easiest of all installations I had done before. It worked for couple 
days and stopped yesterday. Something is funky and I cannot figure it 
out after spending 10 hours on this. I am sure it is couple minutes fix 
if you are an expert on this stuff but that is the best i can do on my own.
