Re: Different user environment for key vs password authentication

To make sure I'm understanding the implication of your response, let me
summarize...

According to the link you sent, the different user environment is
resulting not because of something that the ssh server (or cygwin) is
doing/configured to do but because of how Windows handles remote log-ins
with password or key authentication.  In order to deal with this fact
regarding key authentication, I must consider to use some of the
approaches suggested in the document to switch the user context.   Is this
an accurate summary?

Yep, that's what I'd recommend. In the worst case, method 3 should be roughly equivalent to using a password and therefore give you the same results. YMMV. ;-)
