After re-reading the output from ssh-host-config it appears that it is
creating two separate accounts, a non-privileged account (default of
sshd) and a separate privileged account (default of cyg_server).  Based
upon my knowledge of sshd I just didn't expect that, so I was assuming
that only one account needed to be created.

I get it now.
