It removes the group read, write, and execute permissions for the SSH
keys in /etc.  See 'man chmod' for more.  There's no need to try to undo
this change though.  It's appropriate that these files not allow group
access to these files.

Generally, this list frowns on the practice of consulting alternate
resources on the web for configuration help and then coming back to
the Cygwin site/list when problems arise as a result.  Practically, we
can't control all the sites out there that may have some configuration
information for SSH and other Cygwin packages. So we ask that you
follow-up with the original providers if the procedures, information,
and advice that they provide don't work for you.

OK, with formalities out of the way, let's talk a bit more about your
problem.  First, a quick perusal of the instructions your followed doesn't
raise any obvious red flags, other than the general notation that the
instructions are dated ("ntsec" and "tty" are obsolete settings for
the CYGWIN environment variable and are now ignored).  So we need to
see more information from you about your current configuration and what
else you've tried to address this issue.  To that end, please read and
follow the problem reporting guidelines found at the link below for any
follow-up you may have to this list.
