sshd.log is empty. 0 bytes. In the even log I have errors like "The
CYGWIN sshd service terminated unexpectedly.  It has done this 15
time(s)." These errors follow information entries like "The CYGWIN
sshd service was successfully sent a start control." Earlier in the
morning before I started messing with this, I got the following
information entry: "The system detected that network adapter
\DEVICE\TCPIP_{84D85DA7-3BDE-4091-9024-B1AA02CDDEB5} was connected to
the network, and has initiated normal operation over the network
adapter." I point that out because the source was "Tcpip."

I'm wondering why sshd.log would be empty and if that means anything
for this problem. The SYSTEM user is the owner of the file, and it's
got full control minus execute permissions. The service is being run
by the local system account, so it should be able to interact with
that log file, right?
