[ssh-l] Trouble getting sshd started

All,

I have 24 Win2K and 1 WinXP machines on which I've been trying to get sshd
running. Two of the Win2K machines and the one WinXP machines seem to be
working okay. It seems I've screwed up the rest of them. A cursory glimpse
of recent posts failed to enlighten me as to how I might correct the
problem.

Anyway here are some details:

With CYGWIN set to "ntsec tty" I get the following for the server:

$ /usr/sbin/sshd.exe -d -d -d
debug1: sshd version OpenSSH_3.1p1
debug1: private host key: #0 type 0 RSA1
debug3: Not a RSA1 key file /etc/ssh_host_rsa_key.
debug1: read PEM private key done: type RSA
debug1: private host key: #1 type 1 RSA
debug3: Not a RSA1 key file /etc/ssh_host_dsa_key.
debug1: read PEM private key done: type DSA
debug1: private host key: #2 type 2 DSA
debug1: Bind to port 22 on 0.0.0.0.

debug1: Server will not fork when running in debugging mode.
Connection from 127.0.0.1 port 1206
Did not receive identification string from 127.0.0.1
debug1: Calling cleanup 0x417030(0x0)

And for the client:

$ ssh -v -v -v localhost
OpenSSH_3.1p1, SSH protocols 1.5/2.0, OpenSSL 0x0090603f
debug1: Reading configuration data /etc/ssh_config

debug1: read PEM private key done: type DSA
debug1: read PEM private key done: type RSA
setgid 11607: Invalid argument
debug1: Calling cleanup 0x419c30(0x0)

I can start sshd (cygrunsrv -R sshd) properly when the CYGWIN environment
variable is just "tty" (with the requisite changes when prompted by
ssh-host-config), but when I attempt to log on to the local host I get:
