I did indeed.

Sorry, I've read again those docs ( /usr/share/doc/cygwin-doc-1.4 and
/usr/share/doc/openssh) and I've found nothing about not debugging
sshd... :|
Anyway, I have the same issue on more machines, so if I screwed that
one, I still need to configure the others...

I want to use key-auth to run bash scripts remotely. Although it does
not matter anyway, as I just need to use key-auth...
I've installed cygwin with openssh (all default) on the windows server
and then I ran ssh-host-config. Then I copied the content of my
id_rsa.pub file to this server, to the file ~/.ssh/authorized_keys,
making sure they have no righs for group and other. Let's say, the usual
way of configuring key-auth for me, as I did a bunch of times in my unix
machines. But, this time is not a unix machine, but a windows 2003 with
cygwin installed. And I'm getting some errors when I use key-auth, but
not when I use password-auth.

I thought that cygwin's openssh pretty much like unix openssh. Anyway, I
reviewed docs before posting the first time, and found nothing solving
this issue. Maybe I didn't look at the right place...
Can you give me a hint about this issue or directions to a doc where
this things are discussed? Thank you very much.
