Thanks, I missed that, was reading the fstab etc pages.

So I set up sshd to run as the build user, but it still doesn't work:

I ran:
cygrunsrv.exe -R sshd

confirmed no sshd processes were running
rebooted, confirmed no sshd processes were running

Ran:
ssh-host-config -u build

to set it up to run as the "build" user (my primary user)

Told it to use privilege separation

Said I want sshd to run as a service
Put ntsec tty as the values for the CYGWIN environment variable


Ran "cygrunsrv -S sshd


ps -eaf now shows sshd running as SYSTEM proc 3376 with parent 3340, and a 
subprocess
sshd 3444 running as build user

I log in as the build user via ssh, and ps -eaf shows me to sshd process 
running as SYSTEM - proc 3376 with parent 3340 and a subprocess 1824 with 
3376 as the parent.


So, in reading the further documents, is what I need to do then is change 
the SYSTEM entry in /etc/passwd to use the SID of the build user instead?
