sshd and other daemons

[Larry Hall (RFK Partners, Inc.)]

If folks on this list choose to reference Micheal Erdely's site and
mail list below, please be so kind as to address all questions that result
to that list and not this one.  This list can't support information
that comes from other sites.  In contrast, questions and issues that
result from the sources Igor mentions should go to cygwin at cygwin
dot com.
