In my case the context was that suddenly ssh stopped working and would only give the usage message no matter what I tried. I ran the "cygcheck -svr" and noted that I did not have the latest Cygwin (1.7.7) installed even though running setup said there was nothing needed. I confirmed this by opening a bash shell and running "uname -a" command. I rebooted my PC in safe mode with networking and ran setup with cygwin and cygserver set to reinstall. I rebooted and opened a bash shell again and reran the uname -a command to confirm the update was working. I then ran the ssh <machine name> and got the expected login prompts. Hope this helped.
