Do you set the CYGWIN environment variable in the system environment, or in the user environment (or even, god forbid, a batch script)? It sounds suspiciously like sshd either doesn't see the mounts or doesn't have ntsec enabled when run as anyone but Administrator (provided your cygwin version is below 1.3.12). Please do the following: 1) From a command prompt, type 'mount -m | grep cygwin'. If either of the printed lines contains the '-u' flag, re-execute that line replacing '-u' by '-s'. You will only have to do this once. 2) In the Control Panel, start the System applet. Navigate your way to Environment, and add a *system* environment variable CYGWIN with the appropriate value (you can run 'echo $CYGWIN' from a bash shell first to find out its value). I'd also suggest that you then remove this variable from both the user environment and the batch script (if it's there). After you performed the above actions, see if you can start sshd, and report back to the list.
