Not the ssh server installed from http://cygwin.com/setup.exe is it?

Seriously, just run setup.exe and install the basics + the ssh server
(openssh in the Net category).

Run ssh-host-config, run ssh-user-config, it works.  Takes care of
creating a service account and giving the appropriate rights and
appropriate limitations.  Takes care of getting the permissions
correct.

Easy.

Leave "OpenSSH for Windows" out of this if you want to use cygwin
tools.  If all you want is an SSH server that runs on Windows and
gives you a cmd.exe prompt when you connect, then "OpenSSH for
Windows" is for you and, of course, this is not where you would get
support for it.
