Whilst none of the programming would be particularly challenging, the whole program would basically have to be rewritten, because the 9x/Me service control manager is 100% different from the NT/2k SCM. You are increasingly unlikely to find anyone who can be bothered to write the program, now that the 9x/Me product line is obsolete. A quick and dirty fix would be to add a call to RegisterServiceProcess[See Win32 API docs] in the initialization code of ssh, and recompile. That would give you a version of ssh which would fix your problem (but wouldn't run on NT/2k).
