I'm confused. What problem are you trying to solve?
For example from the cygwin forums:
Quote:
Sshd (the daemon) logs by default on the Windows Event Application list, this
can be changed in the configuration (/etc/sshd_config) so that it can log using
syslog (a separate package not installed by default).
It also logs to wtmp, you can see who loged in and from where but entries are
not distinguishable from telnet/ftp/or any other logins.
One example of failed login in the event log (very common when somebody tries to
"break" into your computer) is (6 events):
The description for Event ID ( 0 ) in Source ( sshd ) cannot be found. The local
computer may not have the necessary registry information or message DLL files to
display messages from a remote computer. You may be able to use the /AUXSOURCE=
flag to retrieve this description; see Help and Support for details. The
following information is part of the event: sshd : PID 2868 : Invalid user lidia
from 61.129.117.112.
If so, search the cygwin.com site for your problem. I am not an expert on cygwin authentication and logging. It is somewhat unlike other unixes.

AUDISPD.CONF:(5) System Administration Utilities AUDISPD.CONF:(5)
NAME
audispd.conf - the audit event dispatcher configuration file
DESCRIPTION
audispd.conf is the file that controls the configuration of the audit event dispatcher. The options that are available are as follows:
q_depth
This is a numeric value that tells how big to make the internal queue of the audit event dispatcher. A bigger queue lets it handle a
flood of events better, but could hold events that are not processed when the daemon is terminated. If you get messages in syslog
about events getting dropped, increase this value. The default value is 80.
overflow_action
This option determines how the daemon should react to overflowing its internal queue. When this happens, it means that more events
are being received than it can get rid of. This error means that it is going to lose the current event its trying to dispatch. It
has the following choices: ignore, syslog, suspend, single, and halt. If set to ignore, the audisp daemon does nothing. syslog
means that it will issue a warning to syslog. suspend will cause the audisp daemon to stop processing events. The daemon will still
be alive. The single option will cause the audisp daemon to put the computer system in single user mode. halt option will cause the
audisp daemon to shutdown the computer system.
priority_boost
This is a non-negative number that tells the audit event dispatcher how much of a priority boost it should take. This boost is in
addition to the boost provided from the audit daemon. The default is 4. No change is 0.
max_restarts
This is a non-negative number that tells the audit event dispatcher how many times it can try to restart a crashed plugin. The
default is 10.
name_format
This option controls how computer node names are inserted into the audit event stream. It has the following choices: none, hostname,
fqd, numeric, and user. None means that no computer name is inserted into the audit event. hostname is the name returned by the
gethostname syscall. The fqd means that it takes the hostname and resolves it with dns for a fully qualified domain name of that
machine. Numeric is similar to fqd except it resolves the IP address of the machine. User is an admin defined string from the name
option. The default value is none.
name This is the admin defined string that identifies the machine if user is given as the name_format option.
