Did you read https://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/ntsec.html, configured sshd
and the user accounts correctly and are logging in with a password using
either of the methods described?
FWIW, I'm seeing the connected user as the one that I logged into via ssh.
In fact the sshd user account doesn't have any network access rights anyway,
so I couldn't connect to any network share if that acount would be used.

Achim.
