Start the daemon on the windows box from the command line with the -d
flag, as the same person who starts it from services.

This should put it in debug mode and then connect from your source with
something like ssh -vv. Study the output of both the daemon and the
client for clues. Most of the time it's a permissions problem on the .ssh
directory.

At least the debug output will show you what's going on with the daemon
and the client.

Cool. That helped. I have the key authenticating but as soon as it tells
me welcome back it disconnects me. I thought it was a permissions issue
but I can login with a password so I don't see how that could be it. Any
ideas?

Hello all,

Quick question. Am I correct in my understanding that private key
authentication can not be performed for any account except the account the
openssh service is run under? I am referencing this text:

"Cygwin has some limitations with regard to PKA. PKA on the server can
only
be set up on the account under which the SSHD daemon (service) is run.
That
means for PKA logins, the connection will always log in as the 'sshd'
account on the remote server. If you desire access to your own account,
you
will have to run 'ssh ' and enter a password, assuming you have previously
established your account on that server."

on Drew Hunts' guide to Setting up Secure Shell with Public Key
Authentication Capability on Cygwin.

Thanks in advance,
Dan
