I had to use 'mkpasswd -l' to re-generate my passwd file, (and also
mkgroup), and re-ran ssh-host-config. Actually I tried 'su - Chloe', saw
an error, tried to edit passwd manually, screwed it up and deleted
'sshd' user (even though I don't see that user in Windows user
management), found 'mkpasswd', restarted server, was trying to read
another home directory, logged out of bash, log back in, re-ran
ssh-host-config, and then it seemed to work.
