Gasp! I hit the "I'am Feeling Lucky" button. erdelynet was the first
link out of 15,900 links while googling with cygwin sshd. Worse yet is
this link with nice pictures
http://pigtail.net/LRP/printsrv/cygwin-sshd.html with a name like
pigtail.net. Oh no Mr. Christopher Faylor I found a link with one of
the Cygwin's project leads with her name on it so I guessed it was ok.
http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2001-01/msg00889.html. Say it is isn't
so, she said "tty netsec". Now I just don't know where to turn for both
ssh and Cygwin help. LOL oh Darn I was wrong. I repent. But how shall
we clean up the 819 google links that match cygwin sshd tty ntsec?
There are another 1,120 that match cygwin ssh tty ntsec. Those
erdelynet and pigtail boys are near the top of the list.

These are useless. Since ssh sessions are running in a pty, they are
in "tty" mode anyway, "ntsec" is on by default.
just "ntea" should be turned on (unless its win95), because it should be
NOOOO! ntea is old crap and has *nothing* to do with real security.
It's just plain fake. It's not even used if ntsec is in use, only if
ntsec is explicitely switched off.
Could some please update that user-guide then.

Together with the FAT32 issue maybe.
Very Well said. There seems to be several ways in which this could be
set up depending on the MS Windows platform patches and other
combinations of Cygwin DLLs in use.
