No, I tried that, and it didn't work.  As far as I understand, cygrunsrv is 
just a wrapper to run some daemon in the background. I simply can't start 
sshd with my own user.  Below are the error messages:

$ /usr/sbin/sshd.exe -d
debug1: sshd version OpenSSH_4.1p1
Could not load host key: /etc/ssh_host_key
Could not load host key: /etc/ssh_host_rsa_key
Could not load host key: /etc/ssh_host_dsa_key
Disabling protocol version 1. Could not load host key
Disabling protocol version 2. Could not load host key
sshd: no hostkeys available -- exiting.

Here is the result of ls -lh /etc/ssh* :

$ ls -lh /etc/ssh*
-rwx------  1 SYSTEM SYSTEM      1.3K Nov  4 15:03 /etc/ssh_config
-rw-------  1 SYSTEM SYSTEM       668 Oct 30 19:37 /etc/ssh_host_dsa_key
-rw-r--r--  1 SYSTEM SYSTEM       600 Oct 30 19:37 /etc/ssh_host_dsa_key.pub
-rw-------  1 SYSTEM SYSTEM       525 Oct 30 19:37 /etc/ssh_host_key
-rw-r--r--  1 SYSTEM SYSTEM       329 Oct 30 19:37 /etc/ssh_host_key.pub
-rw-------  1 SYSTEM SYSTEM       883 Oct 30 19:37 /etc/ssh_host_rsa_key
-rw-r--r--  1 SYSTEM SYSTEM       220 Oct 30 19:37 /etc/ssh_host_rsa_key.pub
-rw-r--r--  1 xqiu   mkgroup-l-d 2.8K Nov  4 15:03 /etc/sshd_config

And if I do what the FAQ tells me to do, I get the following error message:


cygrunsrv -I "Xing_sshd" -p /usr/sbin/sshd -a '-D' -u xqiu -w mypasswd
...

$ cygrunsrv -S Xing_sshd
cygrunsrv: Error starting a service: QueryServiceStatus:  Win32 error 1053:
The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely 
fashion.

Should I go ahead change the ownership of /etc/ssh* ?
