Future ntsec-detection problem in sshd (Re: winsup/cygwin ChangeLog security.cc)

A good idea, but I just want to mention a problem that will eventually arise
with sshd.

It currently checks whether ntsec is enabled by examining the CYGWIN environment
variable. This means that if ntsec is defaulted to on, without ntsec appearing
in the CYGWIN env var, that code now requires reworking. The location of this
now-problematic code in ssh is check_nt_auth in file
openbsd-compat/bsd-cygwin_util.c.
