+	     username of the unprivileged sshd account in username_buffer.
+
+	     The below code checks for a Windows username matching the
+	     incoming username, and then fetches the Cygwin username with
+	     the matching SID.  This is our username used for privsep then.
+
+	     Of course, other applications with similar needs can use the
