Why?  There is no such option -D to cygrunsrv.  Run "cygrunsrv --help"
for a summary.

You'll need to change the permissions on those files.  They should have
read/write access to SYSTEM and nothing else.  If you don't know what
you're doing, try the following:

chown SYSTEM /etc/ssh_host*_key
chmod 600 /etc/ssh_host*_key
