Ummh, what was I thinking... Of course the sshd does not care about the
identity (ssh does!).

Still, when releasing 1.2.23, Sergey Ophapkin reported that it does not 
do RSA Authentication. I assume this is the case for 1.2.25, too.

Although I'm not the best guy to do this, I wrote a small introduction in
installing sshd on NT: http://v.iki.fi/nt-ssh.html.

I'd appreciate somebody with better knowledge (Sergey?) to verify it and
give some additional points to add there.
