In order to get this working, you'll need to undo what you have done.  You can
either:

   1. Audit ssh-host-config and ssh-user-config to reset all the permissions 
and
      state back to the default.

   2. Remove Cygwin and reinstall, running ssh-host-config and ssh-user-config
      once "openssh" has been installed and after reading /usr/share/doc/Cygwin/
      openssh*.  If that doesn't work, then before fiddling, read and follow 
the
      problem reporting guidelines found at the link below to report the issue
      here.  Then someone here may be able to help you track down the
      problem.
