Re: Cannot log in to SSHD, either with public key or password

[Evan Rowley <rowley dot evan at gmail dot com>]

This page has a lot of good information in it:
http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/ntsec.html

One part you might want to look at is where it mentions
"cyglsa-config" - this could be useful to you given what you're trying
to set up. In order to utilize this, you'll also want to enable the
"Create a token object" and "Act as part of the operating system"
local security policy options.

These are things I've missed in the past when setting up sshd to work
with key-based authentication. They might not be relevant to the
problem you're having, but it's still good to have the bases covered.
