Hello Igor,
/usr/share/doc/Cygwin/openssh.README states: If you start sshd as deamon via cygrunsrv.exe you MUST give the "-D" option to sshd. Otherwise the service can't get started at all.
chown SYSTEM /etc/ssh_host*_key chmod 600 /etc/ssh_host*_key solved my problem.

Hello again,
Following your hint, I checked /usr/share/doc/Cygwin/openssh.README, and entered:
ssh-host-config -y ssh-user-config -y cygrunsrv -S sshd yielded: cygrunsrv: Error starting a service: QueryServiceStatus: Win32 error 1062: The service has not been started.
I have also tried: cygrunsrv -S -D sshd with the following response: cygrunsrv: trailing commandline argument not allowed and: cygrunsrv -D -S sshd cygrunsrv: unknown option -- D
And where did you find this particular command? Cygrunsrv indeed doesn't have a -D option -- you probably meant to pass that to sshd (which you should have done in the "cygrunsrv --install" line, and which ssh-host-config should do anyway).
Here are the contents of /var/log/sshd.log : Could not load host key: /etc/ssh_host_key Could not load host key: /etc/ssh_host_rsa_key Could not load host key: /etc/ssh_host_dsa_key Disabling protocol version 1. Could not load host key Disabling protocol version 2. Could not load host key sshd: no hostkeys available -- exiting.
You may want to check that this is new. Delete /var/log/sshd.log (you may need to take ownership of it first), and let the sshd service create it anew.
Windows Applications Log contains the following entries: Cannot find a description for event ID 0 in the source sshd. The local computer does not have necessary register information or message DLL files required to show messages from a remote computer. More information: sshd : PID 660 : starting service `sshd' failed: execv: 1, Operation not permitted.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Ah, well, there's your clue. One of the executables (and remember, DLLs in Windows are technically executables too) probably doesn't have the right permissions. I suggest checking:
a) the user mounts for the "SYSTEM" user (there shouldn't be any) b) the system mounts (they should exist) c) the permissions on /usr/sbin/sshd and all the DLLs it needs (they should be executable by all) d) the permissions on /usr, /usr/sbin, /usr/bin, and all the directories containing the DLLs that sshd needs (again, should be executable by all)
If none of the above helps, please try starting sshd from the command line in a SYSTEM-owned bash shell (search the list archives for "sysbash"). Igor
Windows System Log contains the following entries: The service CYGWIN sshd ended unexpectedly. It has done 1 time(s). The following action will be done in 0 milliseconds. No action.
Any new hints ?

Hello Igor,
Pardon me for my ignorance about not ataching the cygcheck output.
I have run Cygwin setup.exe once again, and fetched & installed minires and the new versions of openssh/openssl. The following ssh-host-config -y ended OK, so I tried to start the sshd service: cygrunsrv -S sshd and got the same error as before: cygrunsrv: Error starting a service: QueryServiceStatus: Win32 error 1062: The service has not been started.
Any hints ?
Yes, three:
/usr/share/doc/Cygwin/openssh.README /var/log/sshd.log The Windows Event log
One of the above should contain clues as to what went wrong. Igor

Hello Cygwin users,
I have installed openssl and openssh. Host configuration with: cd /bin ssh-host-config -y tells me about missing cygminires.dll Thereafter the configuration continues: [snip] Host configuration finished. Have fun!
Then I start the sshd service: cygrunsrv -S sshd which errors off with: cygrunsrv: Error starting a service: QueryServiceStatus: Win32 error 1062: The service has not been started.
Where do I find cygminires.dll ?
As always, the Cygwin package search page at <http://cygwin.com/packages> has the answer. Install the "minires" package.
However, you shouldn't have to, because openssh requires minires anyway. Did you, by chance, unselect it when you installed openssh via setup? In general, it's a *bad* idea to unselect anything setup chooses to automatically install, unless you know exactly what you're doing.
How do I make cygrunsrv to start sshd correctly ?
The two problems are most likely related. Install "minires" and try again.
Belows follows output from 'cygcheck -svr':
