> 2.  Run Cygwin Setup:

>    a.  Install from Internet (default).

>    b.  C:\cygwin root directory (default).
>
>    c.  Install for all users (default).
>
>    d.  Unix/ binary default text file type (default).

>    e.  C:\cygwin\setup local package directory (default).

>    f.  Direct connection to Internet (default).

>    g.  ftp://mirrors.kernel.org download site.

>    h.  Select source packages to match base/ default packages.
>
>    i.  Create Desktop and Start menu shortcuts.
>
> 3.  Start Cygwin Bash Shell, then exit it.
>
> 4.  Run Cygwin Setup again:
>
>    a-g.  Same as above.
>
>    h.  Select 'openssh' package.  Setup will select dependencies.
> Select source packages for all of these.
>
>    i.  No need to recreate shortcuts.

> 5.  Start Cygwin Bash Shell and wrestle with ssh-host-config, 'net start
> sshd', and /var/log/sshd.log, rebooting several times along the way for

>
>    a.  'chmod 0777 /etc/passwd' -- overkill, so that ssh-host-config
> could create the cyg_server account.  (I changed permissions to 0644
> afterwards.)
>
>    b.  'chmod 0777 /etc/group' -- more overkill for ssh-host-config.
> (I changed permissions to 0644 afterwards.)
>
>    c.  'chmod 0777 /var' -- more overkill for ssh-host-config.  (I left
> it that way.)
>
>    d.  'chown cyg_server /var/empty' -- necessary to start the sshd
> service.
