Whoa there!  I never said "change them", don't touch that.

Check /var/empty, it should be created by the script and look like:
$ ll /var/empty
total 0
drwxr-xr-x+  2 SYSTEM  None 0 May 20  2004 ./

I don't follow, like this means...

In Windows XP it's a valid option...
$ netstat /?

Displays protocol statistics and current TCP/IP network connections.

NETSTAT [-a] [-b] [-e] [-n] [-o] [-p proto] [-r] [-s] [-v] [interval]

  -a            Displays all connections and listening ports.
  -b            Displays the executable involved in creating each connection or
                listening port. In some cases well-known executables host
...

Anyway you can also use tcpview from www.sysinternals.com if needed.

Your user "marcj" doesn't have keys.

Read /usr/share/doc/Cygwin/openssh.README, run ssh-user-config (additional info
in man ssh-keygen and ssh_config).
