Configuring sshd can be tricky.  There are plenty of failure paths so it's
best not to step off known paths to success unless you're willing to blaze
a new successful trail.  With that in mind, why not run WPKG under an
account that is known to successfully install Cygwin in the normal way?
This may be close enough to a known successful path to just work.
