How many people use the SSH daemon from Cygwin, versus using only the
client? I did some work with the daemon with rsync and tar, trying to
link it to Linux backup systems. It was unreliable due to anti-virus
interfering with warning when upgraded, and the workarounds being
eliminated from the anti-virus software. As a server, it also had
problsm doing scp, sftp, or rsync reliably due to Windows file
locking, so it wasn't as effective or useful as one might nope.

In other words, is this a big loss if Microsoft accidentally kills
Cygwin sshd ? Is Microsoft going to use port 22? If there is a
conflict, will CygWin defer to Microsoft as the vendor and use an
alternate port?
