I figured out how to turn on DEBUG3 logging by going into
sshd_config, and I realized that I needed to go to the server's
Event Viewer to view the entries.  As I suspected, the
permissions aren't correct for the file and perhaps the
directories.

Specifically, the error I'm getting is 
   Authentication refused; bad ownership or modes for file
       /cygdrive/umpty/scratch/.ssh/authorized_keys.

If I was working with LUnix, it would be pretty straightforward.  But
when I look at the properties of the file, it tells me what groups are
associated with it, but not who owns it.  "Everyone" is not one of
those groups.  SYSTEM and domain\ADMINISTRATORS do have write access.
Do I need to remove domain\ADMINISTRATORS group from the
file/directory tree?
