Yes where you put say hostA:~/.ssh/id_dsa.pub into 
hostB:~/.ssh/authorized_keys.

No, this is just plain Cygwin. Given hcu-g97pnd1, my XP laptop and 
usseactxvm01, a 2k3 server, with pre-shared key set up, going from XP -> 
2K3:

   Hcu-g97pnd1:uname -a
   CYGWIN_NT-5.1 HCU-G97PND1 1.7.5(0.225/5/3) 2010-04-12 19:07 i686 Cygwi
   Hcu-g97pnd1:ssh usseactxvm01
   Last login: Tue Jun  8 17:30:43 2010 from
   hcu-g97pnd1.clients.am.health.ge.com
   Usseactxvm01:uname -a
   CYGWIN_NT-5.2 USSEACTXVM01 1.7.2(0.225/5/3) 2010-03-24 21:12 i686 Cygwin
   Usseactxvm01:exit
   logout
   Connection to usseactxvm01 closed.
   Hcu-g97pnd1:ssh usseactxvm01 uname -a
          3 [main] sshd 4976 D:\Cygwin\usr\sbin\sshd.exe: *** fatal
   error - could not load user32, Win32 error 1114
   Hcu-g97pnd1:

So I can ssh to the 2K3 box but if put a command on the end (e.g. uname 
âa) it fails. Now redoing that last command but removing my pre-shared 
key so that I am prompted for a password:

   Hcu-g97pnd1:ssh usseactxvm01
   Last login: Tue Jun  8 17:33:10 2010 from
   hcu-g97pnd1.clients.am.health.ge.com
   Usseactxvm01:mv .ssh/authorized_keys .ssh/authorized_keys.save
   Usseactxvm01:exit
   logout
   Connection to usseactxvm01 closed.
   Hcu-g97pnd1:ssh usseactxvm01 uname -a
   lf827522@usseactxvm01's password:
   CYGWIN_NT-5.2 USSEACTXVM01 1.7.2(0.225/5/3) 2010-03-24 21:12 i686 Cygwin
   Hcu-g97pnd1:

Now going from the 2K3 machine -> XP machine:

   Usseactxvm01:ssh hcu-g97pnd1
