can't start sshd

[Charles D. Russell]

After a clean reinstall of cygwin from the web and copying my old HOME 
directory to the new installation, I can no longer start sshd.

Never mind.  I must have previously selected  the nondefault value of  
"no" for "allow privilege separation?" in ssh-host-config, without 
recording that fact in my installation notes.

Well, no.  I found an old copy of etc/sshd_config that shows I was 
indeed previously using the default value of "yes", so something about 
the current installation must be different.  Another user sent me a 
message describing a similar problem, after a cygwin upgrade, that he 
solved by a complete cygwin reinstall.  I am using a completely new 
installation, but I did try re-installing openssh, to no avail.  Anyway, 
simply disallowing privilege separation has allowed me to get ssh to 
work in an apparently satisfactory manner.
