I modified line 556 of ssh-host-config to be:

	if cygrunsrv -I sshd -d "CYGWIN sshd" -p /usr/sbin/sshd -a "-D -r" -u
sshd_server -w "${_password}" -e "CYGWIN=${_cygwin}"

Notice the -r.  

I restarted sshd, but I still get:

    $ ssh Administrator@momtst5
    Administrator@momtst5's password: 
    Connection to momtst5 closed.

The connection closes immediately as others have mentioned.

Is that the form of -r that you mean?
