Jeffrey, It appears that the public key authentication is failing. I am assuming you are using SSH protocol version 2 since you do not have a key in /home/jhood/.ssh/identity. Do you have both dsa and rsa keys in /home/jhood/.ssh/id_rsa and /home/jhood/.ssh/id_dsa?
It would be helpful if you ran the sshd service in debug mode by passing the -ddd argument. Are you sure that you copied the public key corresponding to the correct private key? I am running XP Professional with cygwin 1.3.22 and openssh 3.6.1p1-2 and I have no problem using public key authnentication using the openssh client or using Putty.
