The *servers* sshd_config has RSAAuthentication set to no.  However, the
*clients* ssh_config has RSAAuthentication set to yes (because I do
connect to Linux/Solaris sshd's from this client box).  It does seem odd
that the client would attempt to get my RSA/DSA key *before* asking the
server if the server will even accept RSA/DSA auth...

Thanks -- that solves one minor mystery....leaving a much larger one:
still no working sftp-server (for me).  Server running on NT4sp6, latest
cygwin updates.  Client W2Ksp1.
