No, that's not related. But we had a few reports on the list already
concerning sshd and it seemed to be a problem with using a non-Domain
cyg_server user running sshd, which lead to a crippled token:

This is not related to W7, but should be a problem starting with
Windows Server 2003.
Pierre, you know a lot about this authentication stuff in Cygwin, you
applied a couple of patches yourself, and you have a copyright
assignment in place. If you think there's another problem lurking,
please help with debugging and patches.
Thanks,
Corinna
