This is because of...

this, "rw SYSTEM", so nothing strange here.

No.

It will.
>>>ssh: connect to host localhost port 22: Connection refused
There are few possibilities for this, either sshd is not running or the firewall
prevents the connection... or your user doesn't exist for sshd (see end of message).
>>> SYSTEM 728 1 ? 00:48:33 /usr/bin/cygrunsrv

This looks fine.
>>> Proto Local Address Foreign Address State

Also this, but just to be sure run "netstat -abn" and see if it really is sshd
(the PID will not match because it is a Windows PID).

This is strange, but you don't need to edit it. Look at /etc/passwd, user marcj
should have group 513 (or the same group as Administrator, I'm not sure if this
changes from Windows version). BTW did you set your passwd and group files as
per /usr/share/doc/Cygwin/login.README?
