Hi Corinna,
CYGWIN should be quoted when passed to cygrunsrv,
otherwise one will not be able to use CYGWIN="server codepage:oem" as 
sshd env. See the patch (but remove --interactive).

**********

And then I have this service --interactive question:
My favorite term is putty which allows compared to cmd.exe or rxvt.exe 
better mouse selection of an over-long commandline. Also some more 
goodies like signals, and visual bell.

So I usually ssh to localhost, instead of open my cmd-bash.
Therefore I had to add --interactive to sshd otherwise no GUI programs 
like insight or setup will appear if started from my putty terms.

Is it technically possible for sshd to detect if run as service and 
forbid external connections somehow to use the desktop?
Only allow local connections --interactive?
Something like a new /etc/sshd_config setting:
#Win32InteractiveLocalOnly

If you give me a rough outline I can implement it by my own also.
