I've again attached a new ssh-host-config file for testing.  As it turned
out, I mis-tested the password complexity rule.  The password SSHD_server
was not sufficient.

The script now calls the passwd utility from the cygwin base package
to set the user flags to "Password never expires".  This will only
work with the new passwd from current CVS, version 1.5.  The current
version released with Cygwin 1.5.5 is 1.4.  Up to 1.4, the passwd tool
has no -e option to set the UF_DONT_EXPIRE_PASSWD flag.  ssh-host-config
checks for the version number of the passwd tool and either calls it
or emits an additional warning that the expiry must be checked.

Please give it another try, even if it gets boring.

Thanks in advance,
Corinna


Changes:

- Don't use fixed password for sshd_server account but ask the user
  now for a password.

- Extend some warning and info messages.

- Add -c/--cygwin option to allow automating the setting of the
  environment variable CYGWIN for the sshd service.

- Add -w/--pwd option to allow automating the password setting
  for the sshd_server account.

- Always recreate the sshd_server entry in /etc/passwd to overwrite
  weird settings.

- If passwd supports the -e option, use it, otherwise emit warning
  message that password expiry of sshd_server account should be
  checked.

- A few code cleanups.
