Hi Houder,
please read the last Announcement
https://sourceware.org/ml/cygwin-announce/2017-03/msg00028.html
[snip]
It seems you misunderstood the communication:
- the possibility to NOT use "privilege separation" is deprecated
- "privilege separation" will became mandatory
Hi Marco,
Sorry for the misunderstanding. Yes, to my knowledge, PS, privilege
separation, is now mandatory (using a new mechanism under Linux [1]).
[1] sandboxing?
Because of PS, I expect to see an UNprivileged sshd process talking
to the user process (where the ssh command has been executed).
But above all, I expect an UNelevated shell when I login in ...
However, what I get after login (after providing my credentials) is
an ELEVATED shell (yes, Administrators is part of the group set).
Is your user a member of Administrators ?
Now I wonder if this happens because I do NOT observe PS.
Look below, please ... After executing the ssh command, ssh asks for
my credentials ... in stead of providing my credentials, I execute
the ps command in a second terminal. To my surprise, the grandchild
of the listener is executed using "cyg_server" and not "sshd" ...
Currently, I am looking at:

on my system as reported by lusrmgr.msc
cyg_server is a privileged user member of Administrators
sshd is a normal user as expected reading ssh-host-config.
The cyg_server account can setuid to other users
otherwise you can not change user id:
$ pstree -u
?─┬─cygrunsrv(cyg_server)───sshd───sshd───bash(marco)───pstree
├─mintty(marco)───bash───ssh
└─mintty(marco)───bash
Regards
Marco
