Apparently you didn't read /usr/doc/Cygwin/openssh-3.5p1.README.

Run ssh-host-config to create the host configuration files and keys
and run ssh-user-config to create your personal keys in ~/.ssh.

O.K, I did it:

<<rhauser at PC:~/<2>Man/cat1> ssh-user-config

Configuration finished. Have fun!>>

I thought I would now be asked something (why would I be able to specify a
"-y"
or "-n" option otherwise anyway? 
Conclusion, it still doesn't give a clue from which directory it did what...

====> Suggestion: add a "-v" option that tells in an
end-user-intelligible way
what happens.
(sure, there is the "-d" option that eventually utters 
"+ [ ! -f /rsync/.ssh/identity ]" - but this appears to be
development-team-internal...)

P.S.: Especially when clicking on wincvs, it is not that obvious to find out why
this happens ... see

As I told you on the cygwin ML, check your home dir in /etc/passwd.
Your description points to /rsync being set as your home dir in /etc/passwd.

If you'd look into the ssh-user-config script you'd find that it uses
your home dir from /etc/passwd same as ssh does.  It does especially
*NOT* use the value of $HOME, same as ssh.
