This is not a forum. It's a mailing list.

Did you try:
http://sourceware.org/cgi-bin/search.cgi?wm=wrd&form=extended&m=all&s=D&ul=%2Fml%2Fcygwin%2F%25&q=AllowUsers
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=cygwin+ssh+allowusers+site%3Acygwin.com&btnG=Search

"cygwin/etc"? Where is that? Did you mean /etc?

Don't do that. Using Notepad to edit Cygwin config files is likely to 
break things unless you are using text-mode mounts (which themselves can 
break things). You are better off using Cygwin tools, e.g. 'vi'.

I guess you mean 'in the file /etc/sshd_config'?
