What do you mean by that??? Just start sshd on the command line
and that's it!

I fear, yes. Did you read /usr/doc/Cygwin/openssh-2.3.0p1.README?
Did you have a look into the ssh man pages?
To be allowed to change the user context isn't bound to `system'
but to the user rights which are attached to users/groups in the
NT user manager resp. W2K's Security Policy MMC-Snap in.
On the other hand, starting sshd under your own account and then
using RSA/DSA authentication is way more comfortable ;-)
