Unfortunately, I forgot to attach my cygcheck.out file... it is now
attached.

The scope of this post is have an OpenSSH server running on top of
Windows XP Professional without dependency errors or permission issues
during the setup.
On 2008-06-28 a system was installed from scratch with the following
specs:
Windows XP Professional SP2
setup.exe 2.573.2.2
OpenSSH 4.7p1-2 and the associated dependencies
Today when trying to build a similar system,
Windows XP Professional SP3
setup.exe 2.573.2.3
OpenSSH 5.1p1-3 and the associated dependencies
two problems are encountered:
1. An error is received in regard to diffutils not being installed
when running ssh-host-config:
*** ERROR: Could not find or execute required program cmp.
*** ERROR: Please install diffutils
2. Various permission errors arise while running ssh-host-config:
*** Warning: The file /etc/passwd is not readable by all.
*** Warning: Please run 'chmod +r /etc/passwd'.
*** Warning: The file /etc/group is not readable by all.
*** Warning: Please run 'chmod +r /etc/group'.
*** ERROR: Problem with LocalSystem or Adminstrator IDs
and separately after rerunning ssh-host-config:
*** Warning: The permissions on the directory /var are not correct.
*** Warning: They must match the regexp d..x..x..[xt]
*** ERROR: Problem with /var directory. Exiting.
Four questions:
1. Should diffutils automatically be installed as a dependency of
openssh so that this error doesn't come up in regard to it not being
installed while running ssh-host-config?
2. Should these permissions be different on a default cygwin install
so that openssh can be installed and ssh-host-config can be executed
without permission errors?
3. Is it safe to make the necessary permission changes to the various
files and directores (/etc/passwd, /etc/group, and /var) that openssh
is requesting changes to in order to "force" it to work?
4. If indeed these issues are due to a bug, are there appropriate
places to file necessary bug reports in order to keep track of if/when
they will be resolved?
Thanks for your time and consideration of these issues that have been
noticed.

Reproduce steps:
1. Download setup.exe version 2.573.2.3 and place into
"C:\cygwin-install\".
2. Go through the setup wizard with defaults except:
2.a Select a mirror.
2.b Click once on the "Net/openssh" package (at the time of this post
it indicates it will install version 5.1p1-3 and the associated
dependencies).
3. Execute "C:\cygwin\Cygwin.bat".
4. Within the newly launched shell, execute "ssh-host-config".
The following is returned:
######################
$ ssh-host-config

5. Close the shell and launch "C:\cygwin-install\setup.exe".
6. Go through the setup wizard with defaults except:
6.a Click once on the "Utils/diffutils" package (at the time of this
post it indicates it will install version 2.8.7-1 and the associated
dependencies).
7. Execute "C:\cygwin\Cygwin.bat".
8. Within the newly launched shell, execute "ssh-host-config".
9. Answer "yes" to the "Should privilege separation be used? (yes/no)"
query.
