Why don't you read the official documentation instead?  OpenSSH comes
with a lot of man pages.  Then there's /usr/share/doc/Cygwin/openssh.README.
Then you could have used ssh-host-config and ssh-user-config for the
basic configuration.

`man ssh' does not mention authorized_keys2 at all.  The file is called
authorized_keys and contains all keys, SSH1 and SSH2 RSA/DSA keys.

And ~/.ssh/authorized_keys must be readable by the user running sshd,
so usually SYSTEM or sshd_server (on 2K3).
