Subject: cygwin: can't get openssh working via inetd

I can't get sshd workding via inetd.  I'm following the instructions in 
/usr/doc/Cygwin/openssh-2.5.1pw.README.
I it does work perfectly if I invoke sshd manually from the bash 
prompt.  This indicates to me that there is a problem with sshd running 
as SYSTEM and trying to fork and change users.  I see

Is this an NTSEC problem ??  I'm running Windows 2000.
My /etc/ssh_config has everything commented out so it should have the 
defaults.
   PasswordAuthentication yes
   RSAAuthentication yes

There is mention in the docs that when using ntea or ntsec you now have 
to care for the ownership and permissions bits of your host key files 
and your private key files.  I have tried changing the permissions and 
ownership with chmod but nothing happens !!!  ie. chmod and chown don't 
seem to have any affect.  I created a file in /tmp and tried to change 
its owner to SYSTEM but ls -l reveals nothing changed.  The same when 
trying chmod +w /tmp/file.

Why can't I change permissions and would this be the reason sshd running 
as LocalSystem doesnot operate properly.

Thanks,
Brendan Simon.
