I'd be much more cautious of a deamon or service running in  a windows 
platform ssh'ed or not then I'd be concerned about such in a unix 
platform <my preference is to encrypt it all and let the OS/app sort it 
at the endpoint>.  But, I'd certainly not feel safe, nor secure, running 
any service cgywin or not in a production or exposed setting on any 
windows platform.
