Although I'm not sure, I think PasswordAuthentication is a specific ssh protocol mode, and a separate mode is KbdInteractiveAuthentication which technically isn't PasswordAuthentication but could still give you a password prompt depending on what the server does. Perhaps your FreeBSD server is doing this?
Please could you try ssh -o PasswordAuthentication=no -o KbdInteractiveAuthentication=no, and if that still doesn't work then please add -vvv, obscure any sensitive information and then paste the result? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to openssh in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1052707 Title: ssh client ignores PasswordAuthentication no To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openssh/+bug/1052707/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
