Try setting up the cygserver service and creating the account with /bin/cygserver-config before setting up sshd with /bin/ssh-host-config. If you're going to run Cygwin services, multiple sessions, or many processes, especially in a domain, cygserver reduces the overhead. If you still have problems, run cygcheck -hrsv and attach the output to a reply post. -- Take care.
