Placing "localhost.localdomain" in "hosts" as shown here:

  ~ $ cd /cygdrive/c/WINDOWS/system32/drivers/etc
  /cygdrive/c/WINDOWS/system32/drivers/etc $ grep localhost hosts
  127.0.0.1       localhost.localdomain localhost

eliminates application event log entries like:

   --snip
   sshd: PID 6204: Address 127.0.0.1 maps to OurSrvr063.DOMxx1.na.OurSubdomain.com,
   but this does not map back to the address 
   --snip

when you 'ssh localhost'.  Or it least it does for me.  

I had to do more snipping of this post than I wanted because this
post was getting rejected as spam.
