In my case the context was that suddenly ssh stopped working and would only 
give the usage message no matter what I tried.  I ran the "cygcheck -svr" and 
noted that I did not have the latest Cygwin (1.7.7) installed even though 
running setup said there was nothing needed.  I confirmed this by opening a 
bash shell and running "uname -a" command.

I rebooted my PC in safe mode with networking and ran setup with cygwin and 
cygserver set to reinstall.  I rebooted and opened a bash shell again and 
reran the uname -a command to confirm the update was working.  I then ran the 
ssh <machine name> and got the expected login prompts.

Hope this helped.
