SSHD1 says "Password authentication for john failed"

Why is my authentication failing?
I have a CygWin 1.0 full installation. Tools and other programs run fine.
I'm using the pre-compiled SSH 1.2.26 from http://www.lexa.ru/sos/ .
I have added a Win-NT user 'john' and made him a member of every group
available. I set 'john's passwd to something simple and logged out and
back in again just to be safe.
I have made sure that all my related files have no '^M' in them,
including passwd, group, and sshd_config. My profile has export
CYGWIN="title strip_title binmode glob tty" as well as the ".bat" that starts it.
I have also searched the web & mail list archives for hints and clues.
The full text of the sshd session is below. Any info will be appreciated. :-)
