Dear Cygwin Community,

my problem described is solved now.

The change to Windows Server 2003 is the fact, that the OpenSSHd Server
service must run under a user account, SYSTEM account is not enough!

The choosen user account must have the following privileges:

     Create a token object
     Logon as a service
     Replace a process level token
     Increase Quota

It does not work, if you give SYSTEM account all the rights! These
behaviour was described in the year 2007 in a "CopSSH" forum.

...and in the openssh readme file, as well as the email archives of this forum. This is also all handled for you if you configure your installation with 'ssh-host-config'.
