OpenSSH and RSA authentication problems


Hi,

I have a fresh install of Cygwin with all the latest packages.  OpenSSH
2.9.9p2 is among them.  It is setup to run as a service.

Password authentication for any user works fine.  RSA, too, works fine
provided I am running it _as the user I want to login with_.  Otherwise
the server simply rejects the key I give it.  Is this normal?

I have StrictModes set to 'no' temporarily in my sshd_config.  It isn't
helping...

Later tonight I'm going to try and run it under my own account and then
login as someone else to see the debugging output.  For now I know that
it doesn't work for anyone at all when it's running as a service (which
I believe runs as the system account), and that it works fine if I run 
it with my account and login with the same.

Has anyone else encountered this?

David
