I'm almost there but..........

ssh root@xxx.xxx.xxx w

works

ssh xxx.xxx.xxx w

does not work.

I'm running Cygwin on a XP workstation and connecting to a Sun V240z
running Solaris 9. I've checked file and directory permissions,
sshd_config file settings, authorized_keys etc., etc. The following is
the -vvv output, unsuccessful first and successful second. Both tests
are run with the same systems.
