If you installed Cygwin's openssh package, you should have installed the
server with 'ssh-host-config'.  If you did not, you're better off
uninstalling Cygwin:

<http://cygwin.com/faq/faq-nochunks.html#faq.setup.uninstall-all>

After that, reinstall and read '/usr/share/doc/Cygwin/openssh.readme'
and follow the instructions there to install the service.

If you have further problems, please read and follow the problem reporting
guidelines given here:
