Try setting up the cygserver service and creating the account with
/bin/cygserver-config before setting up sshd with /bin/ssh-host-config.

If you're going to run Cygwin services, multiple sessions, or many processes,
especially in a domain, cygserver reduces the overhead.

If you still have problems, run cygcheck -hrsv and attach the output to a reply
post.
