Yes!
Optionally install openssh again. Than call ssh-host-config as well as
ssh-user-config.
Recognize any library error. The dependency management during cygwin
installation isn't very well. My installation was missing one or two
necessary cyg-libraries.
I've forgotten the third part :-(
remove all keys called cygnus* from registry. They are from v1.5 and wether
necessary nor helpfull in v1.7.5.
