I have installed cento 5.3. I enabled the ssh deamon. I have found that 2 options that I normally use does respond as I expect. Has anyone else had similar problems with the following options in sshd_config:
- Port 6666 - if I set the port to anything other than 22 (default), using ssh -p6666 name@servername, does not work. Yet if I leave keep the default, then ssh name@servername allows me to login.
- PasswordAuthentication no - if I set this option to "no" (default is "yes"), and my ssh key is either missing or in error, I will be prompted for user system login password. If this is set to "no", it should not allow me to login if I have not ssh key specified or in error. Has anyone else run into this problem.
Is there a workaround? What are my options? Please help.
