Whoops, ignore the last email, I accidentally must have hit a send 
hotkey, because I fired it off before I had finished typing.  Sorry.

I have changed a lot, so I'll probably go back and start fresh one more 
time.  The first time I ran sshd, I did not run it from a system-owned 
shell; I ran it as Administrator, so perhaps that has something to do 
with my problem.  I'll give it another try.  Thanks for the feedback.
