Running sshd as service with Public Key Authentication

[Cody Cox]

When running sshd as a service I am unable to use public key authentication to connect remotely.

I have sshd installed and working perfectly via sshd command line.  I also have sshd working as a service, but when it runs as a service I cannot use public key authentication, instead I get prompted for a password.  I have set the cygwin environment variable to ntsec tty as suggested in the archives and also set StrictPerms = no in the sshd_config.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.
