You shouldn't need to do this for W2K Server.  Just run sshd as a service.
It will run as SYSTEM, which is fine.

OK

Not sure why you'd want to do that.

There's actually been *tons* of discussion of this topic in the email
archives, though navigating through it all can be somewhat difficult.
Still, if you'd like to get all the details of problems people have 
run into and the solutions, you'll want to do more looking there.  Otherwise,
you want to start with <http://cygwin.com/problems.html>.  Also, you should
check all the "typical" ssh configuration things (/etc/sshd_config file 
settings, etc).  If that doesn't help, run sshd in debug mode and look at
the output of sshd.log.  This should tell you what the server thinks is
wrong.  Make sure you followed the installation instructions in 
/usr/share/doc/Cygwin/openssh.README.  Instructions and/or scripts from 
other sites aren't supported by this list.  If you need more help from the 
list on this subject, please provide all the information asked for by 
<http://cygwin.com/problems.html> along with logs, configuration settings,
and permission settings of all relevant directories.
