Chris-

What user is running sshd as a service? If you 
are using SYSTEM (i.e. you haven't specified another 
user to run the service) you are hindered in 
getting anything to work. 

Case in point- I am running inetd/sshd at my workplace 
and all the domain users in my /etc/passwd (created via 
mkpasswd -d) have //network/share as their home directory. 
It took me forever to figure out that the SYSTEM user account 
didn't have the ability to access ANY network share. When 
I run inetd/sshd as a normal domain user, things work okay. 

AFAIK, you should run the sshd service as admin or a domain user. 
If you need any more suggestions about running these type 
of services, let me know off list and I can forward some emails 
that I got (and saved) that were very helpful in getting 
inetd to work for me. 

Also, have you checked out http://tech.erdelynet.com?
It is a good site on using ssh with cygwin, and has its 
own ssh mailing list.

HTH,
Peter
