You didn't set it up correctly. I don't know what your mistake is but
it sounds as if you did something basically wrong. You can't start
NT services which are in any way related to user logins without
some basic insight into the NT user management. I can only point you
again to the documentation. Please read it carefully. The problem is,
I really can't hold everybodies hand when installing these services.

Sorry if that sounds harsh. It isn't meant that way. You will have
to debug your problems. Use sshd -d and ssh -v options which will
give you important hints. Did you start ssh-*-config scripts? Did
you start iu-config for the inetutils? Did you check your passwd
file? Is your home directory correctly set up in /etc/passwd?
Etc. etc...

It's in the NT resource kit so you should get it on www.microsoft.com.
