[Bug 1052707] Re: ssh client ignores PasswordAuthentication no

[Robie Basak]

Thanks for the log. Unfortunately I can't easily experiment with how to
configure ssh to turn this off. But even though I can't directly help
you configure it, I think this is a configuration issue based on not
understanding exactly how the configuration options map to the ssh
protocol, rather than a bug.

I'm bumping the priority down to Medium since this is a less common,
non-default configuration of ssh that has the issue.

It might be worth asking the community for pointers, for example on
askubuntu.com or upstream. There's a more complete list of how to get
help here: http://www.ubuntu.com/support/community
