Unless you have some other need for it, PasswordAuthentication, Chap and Pam all should be OFF for the best security. The whole point is to not have to use a password but be authenticated with your key. The first time you attempt a login the sshd server should request a password - but only once, to authenticate your host. I think you would be well advised to review your setup. /m
