We recommend using ssh-user-config for this.

Please read and follow the problem reporting guidelines found here:

<http://cygwin.com/problems.html>

Pay particular attention to the part about *attaching* and *not appending*
the cygcheck output.

Are you in a domain?  Did you read the FAQ for this if you are?
<http://cygwin.com/faq/faq-nochunks.html#faq.using.sshd-in-domain>

Does it work in reverse?

FWIW, I can ssh into my Win7 x64 machine using pubkey.  I'm doing this outside
of a domain.
