I removed sshd service and deleted the privilegded user account created by the script. Now I want to re-install sshd, and am having trouble with the ssh-host-config script.
It still finds the user "cyg_server" and want's to use it for installing sshd, but the account doesn't exist because it's been deleted.

My system is Windows 7 Ultimate, with Cygwin and openSSH.
Q: What should I do, so the script creates the privilegded user "cyg_server" again?
