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.

How does ChallengeResponseAuthentication affect matters?

Hi Mick,

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

[gentoo-user] sshd issues

[Jon M]

Hey all,

I've been using other distributions for a while (CentOS, Slackware, Red 
Hat, etc) and finally switching to Gentoo, however this oddness with SSH 
is getting to me.  It seems when I SSH into my machine it uses "keyboard 
interative" mode, where as I'm used to every other distro using just 
"password" mode I think it is.  I'm wondering if there is any way to 
change this.  I tried comparing /etc/ssh/ssh_config between my CentOS 
machine and my Gentoo machine, and both files are pretty much the same, 
and everything is commented out anyway.

Any light someone could shed on this would be much appreciated.  Thanks 
in advance!

Re: [gentoo-user] sshd issues

[Jon M]

Hi Daevid,

I tried playing around with some options in there and didn't seem to do 
much, but not sure if I tried changing that specifically.  I do have a 
question though..  My ssh_config looks something along the lines of this:

#  Host *
#    PasswordAuthentication yes

My question is, should they actually have # symbols in front as if 
they're commented out?  My gut is telling me no..

Thanks again
