Key-based auth fails - OpenSSH 3.7.1p2 (cygwin)

[hayward at slothmud.org]

Hey all,  Maybe someone has seen my problem before with OpenSSH under 
cygwin.  I'm trying to use key-based authentication and it's failing.

Configuration, permissions and -ddd information is provided in this email.

Thanks,
Brian Hayward

Here are the sshd_config params not commented out:

Port 22
StrictModes no
Subsystem sftp /usr/sbin/sftp-server

***
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.

Here is the output of sshd -ddd pertaining to key-based authentication:

Any suggestions?
