sshd and smart card support

[Jarek C.]

After a lot of struggling with trying to get sshd work with regular 
domain accounts I found an alternative bit of software I then installed 
for a test. After a failed test, looking thrugh the logs of that ssh 
server I found an interesting piece of information possibly explaining 
why it wouldn't work with my initial setup. It turned up that all the 
domain accounts I used for testing have a requirement associated with 
the account AD object to use smart cards for logon pourposes. I never 
seen this mentioned in cygwin sshd logs as a reason for failed 
connection but only a statement that the logon name or password was 
incorrect. I don't suppose there is a workaround but maybe something 
worth implementing in sshd logs to cover this sort of scenerios as 
likely no one was expecting this to be causing access problems.
