Thanks for the extra tips, Igor. Do any of these results look strange to 
you?

I tried an ls -l /etc and found

-rwxr-xr-x    1 SYSTEM   None         1159 Nov 13 19:02 ssh_config
-rw-------    1 SYSTEM   None          668 Nov 13 19:02 ssh_host_dsa_key
-rw-r--r--    1 SYSTEM   None          599 Nov 13 19:02 ssh_host_dsa_key.pub

That looks OK I thought... or is it? Does 'SYSTEM' need to be able to 
read those files, or does 'sshd'?

I also had a look at /etc/bin and it's all  owned by john.Users, for example

-rwxrwxrwx    1 john     Users       19456 Feb 20  2002 split.exe
-rwxrwxrwx    1 john     Users       68608 Nov  6 02:47 ssh-add.exe
-rwxrwxrwx    1 john     Users       57856 Nov  6 02:47 ssh-agent.exe
-rwxrwxrwx    1 john     Users       17333 Nov  6 02:47 ssh-host-config
-rwxrwxrwx    1 john     Users       75776 Nov  6 02:47 ssh-keygen.exe
-rwxrwxrwx    1 john     Users      130048 Nov  6 02:47 ssh-keyscan.exe
-rwxrwxrwx    1 john     Users        6266 Nov  6 02:47 ssh-user-config
-rwxrwxrwx    1 john     Users      223232 Nov  6 02:47 ssh.exe
-rwxrwxrwx    1 john     Users       18944 Sep 21 06:32 ssp.exe
-rwxrwxrwx    1 john     Users       87552 Aug 26  2002 states.exe
-rwxrwxrwx    1 john     Users       23552 Sep 21 06:32 strace.exe

That could be a problem perhaps? Should the 'Users' group contain 'sshd' 
or is access for sshd to the /bin executables handled somehow else?

That seems strange. My home computer has a couple of mounts when I run 
that command, but this system has none. However, it works fine locally 
(compiling, listing files, /cygdrive/c, etc). I haven't ever tinkered 
with the mounts, so I wonder how that comes to be... Couldn't be related 
to mingw/msys could it?
