Also see the OpenSSH release message section "Portability" at
https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-announce/2019-04/msg00017.html

So, yes.  Using the SYSTEM account instead of cyg_server is correct.
We now use S4U authentication rather than trying to create our own

that SYSTEM services are not allowed to create user tokens starting
with Windows Server 2003.
