Btw., sshd contains a patch to allow sshd as well as MACHINE+sshd as
account name for the unprivileged privsep account.  There's a new
system call in Cygwin for that very purpose:

  #include <sys/cygwin.h>

  cygwin_internal (CW_CYGNAME_FROM_WINNAME, "unprefixed-accountname",
		   username_buffer, sizeof username_buffer);

See the comment in external.cc, under the CW_CYGNAME_FROM_WINNAME case.
