Login with normal user works, but not with root

[Floeter, Andreas]

Hello, 

I am puzzled by the fact, that I can login to another machine using tramp
on NTEmacs as a normal user, but not as 'root' user. Using a cmd.exe, I can
login either with the normal 'username' or 'root' with 

plink -ssh address@hidden

or 

plink address@hidden, etc.


In the "*tramp/nil address@hidden" I get

(t 38 3001 3001 (15963 39257) (15912 1947) (15912 1947) 1536 16877 t (0 .
2) -1)


In the "*tramp/nil address@hidden" buffer I find

Using username "root".
Server refused our key
Access denied
Server refused our key
FATAL ERROR: Server sent disconnect message
type 2 (SSH_DISCONNECT_PROTOCOL_ERROR):
"Too many authentication failures for root"

Process *tramp/nil address@hidden exited abnormally with code 1

In site-start.el I have

;; load tramp
(add-to-list 'load-path "d:/emacs/emacs-21.2/site-lisp/tramp/lisp")
(require 'tramp)

in my .emacs I have 

(custom-set-variables
 '(exec-path (quote ("D:/PuTTY" "D:/emacs/emacs-21.2/bin" "D:/cygwin/bin"

(custom-set-faces
  ;; custom-set-faces was added by Custom -- don't edit or cut/paste it!
  ;; Your init file should contain only one such instance.
 )

(require 'cygwin-mount)
(cygwin-mount-activate)

;;; tramp
(setq tramp-verbose 9)

(setq tramp-debug-buffer t)

;;; The two lines above are merely for debugging purposes, and are not 
;;; essential.

(setq tramp-auto-save-directory "d:/temp")


Any idea what is going wrong.
