Agreed, not least since I would have searched for

  cygwin sshd configuration

and similar, always having "sshd" and probably not ever thinking to
include "openssh".  But if there were a bunch of Google hits against,
say, the mailing list for lots of questions like this (because there
are lots of ways to search) and similar all pointing back to a lovely
doc set then I'd find the right place eventually.  And it's not like
this hasn't been a long-standing topic with lots of inquiries, after
all.

And, agreed, the config scripts should "just work"; I'd much rather NOT
have to hunt and poke and prod and ask and dig to get this stuff working
but happily move right along.


Thanks again & Happy Holidays
