There was a thread a while back concerning the ability to do
RhostsRSA authentication on Cygwin/Openssh.  The question 
centered on the ability to have the ssh client use a privileged port
by running setuid root.  It seems that I currently cannot do that type
of authentication.  Is there something that I am missing?  I am fairly
sure that the known_hosts and .shosts files are OK, having done this
between Unix boxes for quite some time.  sshd -d on the
(Unix) server complains about the 'unprivileged port' > 1024 and won't
let the desired authentication happen.
