Well, as I said, Cygwin64 dutifully ignores the exception and then goes
to fetch my password from the registry and forks off the command given
to ssh.

It's a local account, actually I've got a separate account cyg_server32
for that.  I've double checked that this is set up the same way as the
original cyg_server account except for the home directory.

I can try but the AD admins are still sitting on their thumbs for the
sshd domain account, so I don't have high hopes for fast enough
turnaround.  Plus, they have new rules that forbid administrative
accounts that have unlimited activation, so I don't know how much use
this is.

Yes please.  As long as I don't get sshd to work, I can't use this
installation for its intended purpose anyway.
