sorry, should have known better:

$ ssh-host-config
Overwrite existing /etc/ssh_config file? (yes/no) yes
Generating /etc/ssh_config file
Overwrite existing /etc/sshd_config file? (yes/no) yes
Privilege separation is set to yes by default since OpenSSH 3.3.
However, this requires a non-privileged account called 'sshd'.
For more info on privilege separation read /usr/share/doc/openssh/README.privsep
.
Should privilege separation be used? (yes/no) yes
Generating /etc/sshd_config file
Host configuration finished. Have fun!

one of the yes/no questions refered to installing the sshd.exe file. as you
can see its not there

windows registry after i deleted cygwin from my disk to avoid this type of
