Subject: password authentication for sshd fails
Mime-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"

When logging into my cygwin server, I am unable to use password authentication.
RSA authentication seems to work fine.  Has anyone successfully gotten password authentication to work using /usr/sbin/sshd.exe ?

I don't think my protocol version matters, but if you're curious I prefer to use version 1.  Here is my sshd_config file:

Port 22
ListenAddress 0.0.0.0
HostKey /etc/ssh_host_key
HostKey /etc/ssh_host_rsa_key
HostKey /etc/ssh_host_dsa_key
ServerKeyBits 768
LoginGraceTime 600
KeyRegenerationInterval 3600
PermitRootLogin yes
IgnoreRhosts yes
StrictModes no
X11Forwarding yes
X11DisplayOffset 10
PrintMotd yes
KeepAlive yes
SyslogFacility DAEMON
RhostsAuthentication no
RhostsRSAAuthentication no 
RSAAuthentication yes
PasswordAuthentication yes 
PermitEmptyPasswords yes
UseLogin no 
CheckMail no
Protocol 1,2

------------------------
and for kicks, my /etc/passwd.  the "root" entry was something I was playing around with b/c of something I read in the FAQ regarding logging in via telnet
