The elegant reusable solution would require the creation of a cygrunsrv-like
program for 9x/Me. Whilst none of the programming would be particularly
challenging, the whole program would basically have to be rewritten, because
the 9x/Me service control manager is 100% different from the NT/2k SCM. You
are increasingly unlikely to find anyone who can be bothered to write the
program, now that the 9x/Me product line is obsolete.

A quick and dirty fix would be to add a call to RegisterServiceProcess[See
Win32 API docs] in the initialization code of ssh, and recompile. That would
give you a version of ssh which would fix your problem (but wouldn't run on
NT/2k).
