Since that message wasn't as clear as I hoped, I have to add the following text: The code added by the OpenSSH maintainers checked the /var/empty directory for ownership 'root'. This is obviously not useful on Cygwin. The Cygwin version modifies that test so that if /var/empty resides on a FAT or FAT32 filesystem, or if ntsec is not activated, the ownership isn't tested at all. If /var/empty is on a NTFS filesystem and ntsec is switched on, the ownership is checked against the user running sshd. Hint: If sshd is started as service under SYSTEM account, the ownership is checked to be SYSTEM...
