No.  *Don't* run sshd under the sshd account.  The service must run
under some privileged account, member of the administrators group,
created with the usual Windows user management tools.  Add the
"Create a token object" right to the account in the "Local Security
Policy" mmc snap-in.  Create an /etc/passwd entry for the user.
Install the service with cygrunsrv so that it runs under that new
privileged account.
