There was a thread a while back concerning the ability to do
RhostsRSA authentication on Cygwin/Openssh. The question
centered on the ability to have the ssh client use a privileged port
by running setuid root. It seems that I currently cannot do that type
of authentication. Is there something that I am missing? I am fairly
sure that the known_hosts and .shosts files are OK, having done this
between Unix boxes for quite some time. sshd -d on the
(Unix) server complains about the 'unprivileged port' > 1024 and won't
let the desired authentication happen.

It sounds like sshd wants to be run only on a priveledged port (i.e. a port
number less than 1024). Are you trying to run it on a port higher then 1024?

Have you ever wonder what happens when you run "rm -rf / " but been afraid
to try it?
