Perhaps you should check that.

I'm curious as to why you created the 'sshd_server'.  Are you running 
W2K3 server?  If not, you're may be a little confused about the difference
between privilege separation and the user that runs the service.  Consult
'/usr/share/doc/Cygwin/openssh.README' for the details.  Oh and a read-
through of <http://cygwin.com/problems.html> would be beneficial if you 
have a follow-up question.  It has guidance for what makes a good problem
report.
