That's interesting. sshd-host-config gave me only sshd as a privileged
user name, cyg_server is already taken by a non-prvileged user
connected to the cygserver service.
Also, at no time does mkgroup create a group called root. I tried
that, but it screwed everything up. Of course, I used Administrators
actual group 513, not 544. I will fiddle with /etc/group and see what
I can come up with.
Ad far as the user name, if it requires cyg_server (not sshd), then I
have a serious issue with the other cygwin install as a service tool,
"cygserver."
The permissions on /var/empty failed everytime. I tried 755, 744, 711,
700, 655, 644, 611. and even 600. No dice.
This is the var/empty listing:
master AT primaryserver ~
$ ls -ld /var/empty
drw-------+ 1 Administrators None 0 Mar 17 13:52 /var/empty

I also tried this:
master AT primaryserver ~
$ ls -ld /var/empty
drw-------+ 1 sshd None 0 Mar 17 13:52 /var/empty
master AT primaryserver ~
$ cygrunsrv -S sshd
cygrunsrv: Error starting a service: QueryServiceStatus:  Win32 error 1062:
The service has not been started.
