The sshd service is set to run as the local sshd_server username. The sshd service is not run as
the local system. As a result, the "interact with desktop" checkbox under the services dialog is
disabled (not checked).
I had permission problems on Win2k3 when trying to run the cygwin/sshd service as
the local system. I use the privilege separation and CYGWIN=ntsec.

A WAG: is your sshd service interactive (allowed to "Interact with
Desktop")?

P.S. Please configure your mailer to wrap long lines. Thanks.
