 Thanks for the reply Dave,

Regarding this, I have deleted the 'sshd.log' file that was created when
it ran under the SYSTEM account.  I also confirmed that the
'sshd_server' user had write privileges to the /var/log directory. Ie:
touch /var/log/sshd.log under that user created a file that was owned by
'sshd_server'.

I subsequently deleted that file.

The only thing that appears in the event log is the service failure
entries. Nothing of real substance. For example, the following is a
typical entry:

Event Type:	Error
Event Source:	Service Control Manager
Event Category:	None
Event ID:	7034
Date:		1/11/2005
Time:		4:39:06 PM
User:		N/A
Computer:	DCESAP08
Description:
The CYGWIN sshd service terminated unexpectedly.  It has done this 3
time(s).

I have auditing turned on for most all 'failures', and of course, there
is nothing in the Security log. File Monitor and Registry Monitor show
nothing significant either.

For now, I created a BAT file to:
Runas /user:sshd_server C:\cygwin\cygwin.bat

Which happily opens a bash shell. I proceed to /usr/sbin/sshd, .. It
returns no errors. I close my bash window.
The service works.
So, this leads me to think something definitely fishy with the
'cygrunsrv' running sshd on this configuration. It's a new server in a
data center running Windows Enterpirse Server 2003..

Thanks for all the help!
-Sean
