Thank you for taking the time to report this issue. I am marking this
bug as invalid as it seems to be a mixture of default (wished) behaviour
and not yet fully configurated ssh client. I suggest you to create or
tune your ~/.ssh/config file where you can set specific settings for
connections and check /etc/ssh/ssh_config against defaults.
You'll be interested in the setting:
PreferredAuthentications
Specifies the order in which the client should try protocol 2
authentication methods.
This allows a client to prefer one method (e.g.
keyboard-interactive) over another
method (e.g. password) The default for this option is:
“gssapi-with-mic, hostbased,
publickey, keyboard-interactive, password”.
If you are sure that even this configuration is ignored, feel free to
open this bug again and file your .ssh/config /without personal details)
and your /etc/ssh/ssh_config.
** Changed in: openssh (Ubuntu)
