These sites are wrong if they suggest that users must be
administrators.  In general we frown on sites like the above on this
list because they constantly give bad advice.  Don't follow any of that
rubbish, and if you do, go pester the authors of those sites for help --
don't ask here.

The only documentation that you need to setup sshd is "run
ssh-host-config".  If you need details then read
/usr/share/doc/Cygwin/*openssh*.  If you do this then there is no such
need for the user that is connecting to be an administrator.
