Surely I don't want to goof on Cygwin, but you mean you can
login via ssh on a remote Windows XP host without being asked
for a password? Within an LDAP environment, including your
home directory on a remote network drive?

Maybe I missed some trick hidden too deep in the documentation,
but I never made this work with Cygwin's ssh (in 2006). AFAICR
sshd was not running with the appropriate rights to read the
user's .ssh directory on a remote share, and there was no "regpwd"
tool as there is for Interix.
