I think that tells you that this is the default setting if you don't change it.

Ohh okay that makes sense.

For everyones information, I got it to work properly.  First of all, I'm 
an idiot and was edited /etc/ssh/ssh_config, not /etc/ssh/sshD_config :P

Secondly, I had to enable PasswordAuthentication yes as well as 
ChallengeResponseAuthentication no

This works perfectly now.  Thanks again everyone, sorry for wasting your 
time.

Just keep in mind that rsa/dsa keys would be a more secure way of 
authenticating, especially with all the brute-force scripts out there.

Hi Mick,

I'm not sure, however when ChallengeResponseAuthentication is set to yes 
it still would go into keyboard interactive mode.
