I had to use 'mkpasswd -l' to re-generate my passwd file, (and also 
mkgroup), and re-ran ssh-host-config. Actually I tried 'su - Chloe', saw 
an error, tried to edit passwd manually, screwed it up and deleted 
'sshd' user (even though I don't see that user in Windows user 
management), found 'mkpasswd', restarted server, was trying to read 
another home directory, logged out of bash, log back in, re-ran 
ssh-host-config, and then it seemed to work.
