Hi René, The note about Windows 2003 Server and ssh-host-config I noticed but ignored, because the reasons for doing this mentioned there were obviously different from my problem. Either you have a permission to do something or not, but not only sometimes (after simply restarting the service). I will check your recommendation ASAP.
The main reason for using the LocalSystem account instead of a different one is that I want to allow interactive applications to appear in Windows, which isn't definitely allowed by cygrunsrv and probably generally in Windows with a separated sshd account.
