From an earlier mail on this list:

http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2008-11/msg00212.html

I cite:

"Ugh!  This suggests that you have not read OpenSSH readme in
/usr/share/doc/Cygwin.  You can't do this without screwing up all
the permissions on various directories and files that SSH checks
the permissions of."
