$ less /etc/passwd|grep sshd
sshd:unused_by_nt/2000/xp:1004:513:sshd
privsep,U-HKI-MAR-2000\sshd,S-1-5-21-1614895754-507921405-839522115-1004:/var/empty:/bin/false
User sshd exists also in Control Panel - Users and Passwords and has been
installed by the CygWin script as a Restricted User (Win2000 definition is
"Users can operate the computer and save documents, but cannot install
programs or make potentially damaging changes to the system files and
settings")
