Whoops, ignore the last email, I accidentally must have hit a send
hotkey, because I fired it off before I had finished typing. Sorry.
I have changed a lot, so I'll probably go back and start fresh one more
time. The first time I ran sshd, I did not run it from a system-owned
shell; I ran it as Administrator, so perhaps that has something to do
with my problem. I'll give it another try. Thanks for the feedback.
