In the sshd2_config file (usually located in the /etc/ssh2 directory)
you place the following directive.
AllowedAuthentications publickey
That will allow only public key authentication and will reject any other
form. Alternatively you could have the following.
AllowedAuthentications publickey,hostbased, password
RequiredAuthentications publickey
Which will allow various forms of authentication but *requires* 'publickey'
in order to successfully log in. This is good when you want two forms of
authentication (i.e. RequiredAuthentications publickey,password). Good
luck.

Subject: Force public key only
Hi all..
Is it possible to force the sshd to insist on the use of public keys.
If that fails, I'd like it to not accept any other form of authentication.
Cheers
Dennis
