No, that is the way ssh works: you are user "dan" trying to login as user "fshd"
to somewhere, so it uses (local) dan keys and (remote) fshd authorized_keys.

That's what the log showed.

No, that's no it.

And it is almost working, it does log in, what happens next is what fails. That
means it can't execute the shell, did you change permissions? remember when you
said you made /bin/bash 0700 (which doesn't allow execution by any other user
different from the one that installed Cygwin)?
