I've come across a glitch involving sshd and cygserver. I normally have
both running, but I've discovered that I have to start sshd before I
start cygserver, or else I have problems (can't ssh from a

Who needs this functionality?
Is it some legacy of passwd(5) compatibility, such as the wish to have
