I have recently installed the latest Cygwin Version on my W2k test server along with the latest OpenSSH package. I find that if I manually start the sshd daemon I can login ok using PublicKeyAuthentication but when I create an NT Service using cygrunsrv that this fails (although password authentication is ok).I suspect that this may be a permissions problem but have run out of things to try. Here is the debug output from the sshd server using the loopback address. If anyone can offer any advice/suggestions,it would be much appreciated. Thanks.
