That's interesting. sshd-host-config gave me only sshd as a privileged

Also, at no time does mkgroup create a group called root.
That suggests an earlier (Cygwin-install-time) error, doesn't it?
I should have said I did exactly _no_ group/permission by-hand
fiddling to get the setup I sent. All happened auto-magically as a
result of basic install. Looking at my download area, I see I
installed cygwin, cygrunsrv and openssh all as part of my initial
install. I can't immediately detect any sign of what initialisations
ran in what order -- /etc/sshd_config was built about an hour after
the downloads. . .
Right. '/etc/sshd_config' is built by 'ssh-host-config'. It will create
the 'sshd' user for those requesting privilege separation and 'cyg-server'
as the privileged user to run the 'sshd' service under. All this is done
as part of the 'ssh-host-config' script. If this script isn't run, then
obviously the 'sshd' service won't start. That's not say that it will
always just start when 'ssh-host-config' is run. But that's the intent
and the blueprint for debugging problems.
