I have read the archives and am guessing that I am stuck with this auth
key login gets sshd_server userid behavior.
 
Example of whoami returns correctly when logged with password:
Administrator AT win-am-install ~
$ C:/windows/system32/whoami
win-am-install\administrator
 
Example of whoami returning incorreclty when ssh'ing in via auth keys
(no passwd):
Administrator AT win-am-install ~
$ ssh Administrator AT win-am-install "C:/windows/system32/whoami"
win-am-install\sshd_server
 
Am I correct in this assumption?  Is there a workaround?
 
Thanks,
Adam
