Hi,
Often not the case in small business or third party hosted
environments. Without remote ssh, box is unmanageable.
Even if you want to do key-based authentication rather than password,
you still need to use password initially to get the key onto the
remote box.
Just curious: Is it possible to configure sshd to disallow passwd
auth in case it finds a valid (correct permissions etc.)
$HOME/.ssh/authorized_keys ?
cheers,
Gerd
