^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Among other things, this path looks anomalous but if you really installed 
Cygwin under c:\ssh, that's fine.

You've given incomplete information regarding your setup.  How do you 
invoke the ssh daemon from Cygwin?  Did you follow the instructions at 
/usr/share/doc/openssh/?

For us to be able to help you, please take a look at this URL (which is 
found at the bottom of all mails sent to this list):

and please note especially the part that talks about providing cygcheck 
output.  In that way, it would hopefully be easier to zero-in to your problem.

Thank you very much.

Best Regards,

Carlo
