I created a new local ID on a 2003 server.  Then I logged in with that ID on the
server and started a Cygwin session.  It gave the message "Your group is
currently "mkpasswd" and recommended running mkpasswd and mkgroup.  I did that
by running "mkpasswd -l" and "mkgroup -l".  I dont know if that was needed or
not.  I was able to successfully ssh from a different server into the 2003
server by providing the password.

Now it appears the all of the accounts on the 2003 server are asking for a
password (instead of using the keys previously setup and that were working for
passwordless authentication).
