This will not work. Under 2k3 you need to create a special user account and give it extra permissions. This is explained in /usr/share/doc/Cygwin/openssh.README. However, the details are not important because all the user-creation and permission-setting is done for you with the ssh-host-config script which I recommend you use. Trying to do this by hand can be difficult. > ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Could not load host key: /etc/ssh_host_key > Could not load host key: /etc/ssh_host_rsa_key > Could not load host key: /etc/ssh_host_dsa_key > Disabling protocol version 1.

This is another task that ssh-host-config will automate for you. You probably don't have a /etc/sshd_config file either. I recommend that you remove all traces of whatever you've done by hand to install the sshd service and instead run the script.
