Presumably this is a typo transcribing to your email message?

That you didn't really need, though it probably did no harm.  Can you
check if SYSTEM is in '/etc/group' and '/etc/passwd' though still?

Did you run ssh-host-config (and ssh-user-config) as specified by
'/usr/share/doc/Cygwin/openssh.README'?  If so, do you have 'cyg_server'
in your '/etc/passwd' file?  This really should be the user the service
runs under on 2003 x64.
