preserving ssh configuration when reinstalling cygwin


After reinstalling cygwin from scratch on computer A, I simply used tar -p to transfer $HOME/.ssh/* and /etc/ssh* (with their privileges) from the old installation to the new. However, I can no no longer ssh from A to computer B, though I can still ssh from B to A. The error message is "connect to host xxx port 22: Connection refused". I have verified that sshd is running and has firewall privileges on B.

Was my approach oversimplified? Must I start again from the beginning to set up ssh?
