i think i found a solution/workaround!

- I had a useraccount 'user' with password in windows that is the same user
that logs in over ssh
- i stopped the windows service
- in cygwin, i deleted the folder /var/empty
- then, i recreated the folder /var/empty (default access rights)
- in the services panel, open properties for the ssh service
- change the account in the second tab to "user" with the password included
- start the service

the service now starts, can use the /var/empty folder with the right
permissions and allows ssh connection! i'm a happy man, time for turkey! :P
