Hello Brian,

/usr/share/doc/Cygwin/openssh.README states:
If you start sshd as deamon via cygrunsrv.exe you MUST give the
"-D" option to sshd. Otherwise the service can't get started at all.

chown SYSTEM /etc/ssh_host*_key
chmod 600 /etc/ssh_host*_key

followed by:
cygrunsrv -S sshd
started the sshd service OK.

I have also verified the connection by:
ssh localhost

ssh_host_*_key.pub are owned by the user that has run ssh-host-config
Is it OK ?
