Yes, I ran the cygwin shell as administrator, and I noticed (since it was the first time I had done that) all of the files created in the home directory. The system is Windows 7, 64-bit.

Try setting up the cygserver service and creating the account with /bin/cygserver-config before setting up sshd with /bin/ssh-host-config. If you're going to run Cygwin services, multiple sessions, or many processes, especially in a domain, cygserver reduces the overhead. If you still have problems, run cygcheck -hrsv and attach the output to a reply post. -- Take care.

That didn't work... the first time, but when I retried it, it did. And strangely enough (I had to reinstall Windows and cygwin), the exact same behavior occurred after the reinstallation (after running cygserver-config, ssh-host-config failed the first time, and worked the second time.
