ok - here listed what I did (sorry for the long listing):
---cut---
01. $ cygrunsrv -R sshd
02. remove registry-keys: HK(CU|LM)->SOFTWARE->Cygnus Solutions
03. remove windows/user sshd
04. rename c:\cygwin to c:\cygwin_1
05. run http://www.cygwin.com/setup.exe from user ladmin member of
group local admins
- install from internet
- install for all users
- added packages: openssh, tcp_wrappers
06. $ mkpasswd -cl > /etc/passwd
07. $ mkgroup -l > /etc/group
08. $ ssh-host-config
- privilege separation -> yes
- install sshd as service -> yes
- CYGWIN=ntsec tty
09. $ net start sshd
The CYGWIN sshd service is starting.
The CYGWIN sshd service could not be started.

The service did not report an error.

More help is available by typing NET HELPMSG 3534.
10. $ cygrunsrv -S sshd
cygrunsrv: Error starting a service: QueryServiceStatus:  Win32 error 1062:
