I've tried to research this extensively but I'm hitting a wall now. 
 
I'm running a Windows 7 64 bit I7 box with 12 gbytes. I have VMware
Workstation installed and it is running VMware Studio which is a Ubuntu
virtual appliance. 
 
I've installed Cygwin OpenSSH and configured it using ssh-host-config
and ssh-user-config. Cygwin sshd is running as a service and the "Allow
service to interact with desktop" box is checked.
 
I AM able to connect via ssh and also to scp files to VMware Studio.
 
However, I am NOT ABLE to connect via ssh from VMware Studio to the
windows box. 
There are 3 data sections below that will hopefully describe the
problem:
  - The verbose output from the SSH command attempt: (VMware -> Windows)
  - The Windows event data generated by that attempt
  - The ssh-keygen data for each side of the connection

2. EVENT LOG DATA
Log Name: Application
Source: sshd
Date: 7/26/2011 8:49:46 PM
Event ID: 0
Task Category: None
Level: Error
Keywords: Classic
User: SYSTEM
Computer: drjmgh-PC
Description:
The description for Event ID 0 from source sshd cannot be found. Either
the component that raises this event is not installed on your local
computer or the installation is corrupted. You can install or repair the
component on the local computer. If the event originated on another
computer, the display information had to be saved with the event. The
following information was included with the event: 
sshd: PID 8608: fatal: seteuid 1020: Permission denied
Event Xml:
<Event xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/win/2004/08/events/event">

3. SSH-KEYGEN DATA
 a. The authorized_keys and known_hosts files on the VMware side.

   root AT VMwareStudio:~/.ssh# more authKeys.txt
     2048 44:92:ae:a4:32:51:06:bc:59:89:f3:be:38:53:54:52
authorized_keys
   root AT VMwareStudio:~/.ssh#

   root AT VMwareStudio:~/.ssh# more knownHosts.txt
     2048 44:92:ae:a4:32:51:06:bc:59:89:f3:be:38:53:54:52 known_hosts
   root AT VMwareStudio:~/.ssh#
 

 b. The Windows side. This is the /etc/ssh_host_rsa_key.pub file. I
added this key since the ssh command   
    output above indicated that this is the key that it is looking for.

  vmware_studiouser AT drjmgh-PC /etc
     $ ssh-keygen -lf ssh_host_rsa_key.pub
     2048 44:92:ae:a4:32:51:06:bc:59:89:f3:be:38:53:54:52
ssh_host_rsa_key.pub (RSA)
 
 
Thanks for any help that you can provide.
