I'm not sure what's changed since I had the problem.  When I was having 
the problem, there were accounts for ssh_server and sshd created in the 
top-level Users container in AD whenever I ran ssh-host-config.  Only 
one member of the domain was able to set up sshd at a time.  Now when I 
install cygwin and run ssh-host-config, only ssh_server is set up as a 
user account in AD.  If "sshd" is still created, I'm not sure where.  I 
don't know if that's related to the problem, but that's the only change 
that I'm noticing.

I'll come back with cygcheck's output if the problem crops up again, but 
I'm not seeing it now.  If someone fixed the package: Thank you.
