/usr/doc/Cygwin/openssh-*.README

[Daniel Steinmann]

Hi, I followed the instructions in /usr/doc/Cygwin/openssh-*.README
to setup sshd on a freshly installed cygwin environment. After
running ssh-host-config I could not start sshd. In the event log I
saw "...: Not owner". 

The reason for this was: I invoked ssh-host-config without setting
CYGWIN=ntsec. Therefore the /etc/ssh-* files had wrong permissions.

How about adding some more information in the README:

$ diff openssh-2.9p2.README openssh-2.9p2.README.orig
30c30
<    CYGWIN=ntsec /usr/bin/ssh-host-config
---
>    /usr/bin/ssh-host-config

Daniel.
