Don't use privilege separation, then the non-privileged sshd user won't
matter at all.  Privsep on Cygwin is only half-useful on Cygwin anyway,
if at all.  As for the local cyg_server account, I'm not sure.  Usually,
a local machine account has no or only limited access to AD information.
As an account which needs AD to get user information it's a bit
unfortunate if it doesn't have access.

The strace shows that it doesn't even *try* to start bash, but it's
entirely unclear why.
