Is SYSTEM in /etc/passwd? If not, I think that's a problem. Even if
it's there, maybe it's wrong. I would try the mkpasswd command to
recreate your passwd file (and might as well mkgroup to recreate
the /etc/group file). They both write to stdout so you have to
redirect them:
mkpasswd> /etc/passwd

Yep the SYSTEM is listed alright. I already created the passwd file
multiple times, before and after ssh installation. I do not know what
all those numbers in it but as far as I can see the users and their
default folders listed fine there. I can pretty much see all the defined
users including the ssh setup based users.
"mkpasswd -cl > /etc/passwd" was the command I have used multiple times.
The weird thing was that the Cygwin+Ssh installation on Win7 was the
easiest of all installations I had done before. It worked for couple
days and stopped yesterday. Something is funky and I cannot figure it
out after spending 10 hours on this. I am sure it is couple minutes fix
if you are an expert on this stuff but that is the best i can do on my own.
