Yes. That's for privilege separation. It's fine.

The only thing I can think of here is that cyglsa isn't doing what it
should. Why don't you send along your cygcheck output
(<http://cygwin.com/problems.html>) in case there's something there
that would help there.

Yep, that's expected when you run sshd as debug. That's another
reason I set up a separate service for the debug version. Keeps me
from needing to edit anything to switch back and forth and I never
have to worry about the "limitations" of running a debug version
when I don't mean to be. :-)
