Ok, now this is *really* bizarre... if I log in as me, all is OK (minus 
the above issue). If I log in as "Administrator":
- on the XP box, I get "Read from socket failed: Connection reset by peer".
- on the 2k3 box, I can log in, but my network drives all show up as 
'unavailable'.

If I log in as a *different* user (2k3 only, the XP box doesn't know any 
other users), I get a completely different set of network shares.

This implies that the share re-creation is only working for my user, but 
I'm not sure how that is possible, as my sshd service is running as the 
user '.\sshd_server'.

AFAIK, I *did* set up sshd with ssh-host-config; the only thing I 
changed was to re-create the Windows service (all via cygrunsrv) so it 
would run my initialization script instead of the actual sshd executable.
