But, even if I have this set to "no", and I do an interactive login,
then both me and the remote box need to know my password.
public/private keys avoid the above issue.
But I dont' see how setting PasswordAuthentication yes accomplishes the
above.
Obviously I'm missing something. I'm going to go reread the thread
