ssh configuration that is pulling my hair out!

Sat Jan 24 01:35:00 GMT 2004

Hello,
I'm trying to setup sshd and I'm getting to success at all. Here's my 
situation. I've followed the instructions at 
http://tech.erdelynet.com/cygwin-sshd.html and when I run 
*ssh-host-config -y* I get this error message.
To start the service, call `net start sshd' or `cygrunsrv -S sshd'.

chown: changing ownership of `/etc/sshd_config': Permission denied
chown: changing ownership of `/var/empty': Permission denied
chown: changing ownership of `/var/log/sshd.log': Permission denied
When I attempt to run the service I get this error message in the logs
The description for Event ID ( 0 ) in Source ( sshd ) cannot be found. 
The local computer may not have the necessary registry information or 
message DLL files to display messages from a remote computer. The 
following information is part of the event: sshd : PID 1968 : starting 
service `sshd' failed: execv: 1, Operation not permitted.
I'm running on a Windows 2000 Pro box but it is part of a domain but I 
installed cygwin as a local user to the box. I don't have 
administration permissions but the user account has admin privs for the 
local box. I tried the suggestions from this earlier post at 
http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin/2003-10/msg00319.html. But no 
luck. I was able to run the sshd from a command prompt but I was unable 
to log on doing "ssh localhost" and using a known account. Any 
suggestions? Thanks!
