cygwin/vmware_template/ssh verison issue with 1.126


I have a 2003 template with a working Cygwin sshd install.  I deploy vms via  script from that template and when they are brought online the Cygwin prompt is now '#' instead of a '$' and I cannot start sshd.   Both Cygwin sshd service are configured with the cyg_server account to start them.  And as far as I can tell the only difference is one machine was deployed via script from the working template and I don't know why the permissions are changing for Cygwin when deploying these servers.   For all intensive purposed the permissions are identical.  

From working 2003 machine (one I provision templates from):

And from a non-working machine deployed from that template:
