Did you try anything besides switching the user? For instance: - Did you check the event log? - Did you check /var/run/sshd.log? If it's empty it's probably because the domain user has no write permission. - Does the domain user have an entry in the local /etc/passwd? sshd needs that when checking file ownership. And it allows to specify the user to cygrunsrv without the "domain\win_username" syntax. - Did you chown /etc/ssh* and /var/empty to the domain user when trying to start the service under that account? That's a must have.
