I have setup Debian Squeeze on an old laptop to serve as a testbed. I have installed OpenSSH and edited /etc/ssh/sshd_config
to use ssh keys and disallow password authentication.
I am able, however, to login with a password via serFISH.com. On entering the password I get:
Connecting as lemmy@*myipaddress* on port 5001...
/root/.ssh/known_hosts updated.
Original contents retained as /root/.ssh/known_hosts.old
lemmy@my*ipaddress*'s password:
Linux saturn 2.6.32-5-686 #1 SMP Sun May 6 04:01:19 UTC 2012 i686

lemmy@saturn:~$`
How is this possible?
sshd_config
file or at least the relevant part?
