Until Cygwin version 1.7 is released, this is one of a subset of
prescribed work-arounds.  You can find others here:

<http://cygwin.com/faq/faq-nochunks.html#faq.using.shares>

Obviously your particular work-around is only valid for cases like yours
where the sshd server doesn't need the ability to impersonate (i.e.
switch to) other users.

To answer the obvious follow-up question, version 1.7 of the Cygwin
package is in the works for release sometime this year.  This is not a
guarantee. ;-)
