Me too.  I can't reproduce that.  What Cygwin version are you using?
Are you sure not to have two Cygwin DLLs on your system?

PubKey is ok but HostBased doesn't work on Cygwin since that requires 
a working s-uid bit concept.

ssh2 keys can be stored in .ssh/authorized_keys since 2.9 or so.
You don't need an extra .ssh/authorized_keys2 file.

I wonder how that worked on Linux.  According to `man sshd_config'
only ? and * are allowed as wildcards.  Other that that, the
concept of AllowUsers, DenyUsers, AllowGroups and DenyGroups works
on Cygwin the same way as on any other system.

This is only needed under ntsec if you didn't set the modes and
owners of the private files correctly.
