I already read the openssh-2.3.0p1.README file. The document states:

- If you want to authenticate via RSA and you want to login to that
  machine to exactly one user account you can do so by running sshd
  under that user account. 

and then continues:

- If you want to be able to login to different user accounts you'll
  have to start sshd under system account or any other account that
  is able to switch user context. 

But it does not mention anything about authenticating with just one 
user and using password instead of RSA. This is not tremendously 
important, however, since I want to run sshd as a service any way.

Unfortunately I did that already. ntsec is enable, the private and public host 
keys belong to SYSTEM, and the private host keys have permission 0600. Still
sshd does not show up in the task manager list of processes.
