[CentOS] sshd options - centos 5.3

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 at servername, does not work.  Yet if I leave keep the default,
then ssh name at 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.
