Key-based auth fails - OpenSSH 3.7.1p2

[hayward at slothmud dot org]

I'm not sure if this should be directed at the cygwin or ssh lists.  
Because I haven't had any troubles with ssh keys in the past on Unix, I 
figured I'd start here.

No matter what I do with filesystem permissions, I can't get ssh key-based 
authentication to work.  I have tried both with StrictModes no and yes.

I've reconfigured my sshd.exe to run through services with the arguments:
"-D -ddd" -1 /tmp/sshd.1 -2 /tmp/sshd.2, so I can get the debugging 
information necessary.

debug1: userauth-request for user hayward service ssh-connection method 
publickey
debug1: attempt 1 failures 1
debug2: input_userauth_request: try method publickey
debug1: test whether pkalg/pkblob are acceptable

debug2: userauth_pubkey: authenticated 0 pkalg ssh-dss
Failed publickey for hayward from 10.10.10.10 port 57461 ssh2

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks,
Brian Hayward
