Well, for me it didn't work. Here's exactly what I do after a fresh Cygwin 
installation to get it running:

- setup ssh:
	- set environment variable CYGWIN to "ntsec tty" (Control Panel/
	System/Advanced/Environmental Variables)
	- call "ssh-host-config -y" in a cygwin window --> creates a user "sshd"
	- chown SYSTEM /etc/ssh_host_* /var/empty
	- net start sshd
	- try to login with "ssh localhost"

So for me it seems as sshd is installed as service but this last check somehow 
fails.
