Unable to use iisreset through ssh

This indicates iisreset requires that Windows authenticate you
before it will work.  OpenSSH with password authentication does this.
Public key authentication does not.

>>I have a weird problem where if I try to use iisreset through a ssh session to my cygwin box then it gives an error saying that only Local Admin's can use this command. But I am a local admin, and if I use iisreset directly on the PC through bash session it works fine. When I run 'id' command it also says I'm part of the Administrators group. And my entry in /etc/passwd looks right. My CYGWIN variable does include 'ntsec' as part of the settings.
