openssh bugs - Dec 2003 - [Bug 767] Allow users to disable certain authentication types

http://bugzilla.mindrot.org/show_bug.cgi?id=767

           Summary: Allow users to disable certain authentication types
           Product: Portable OpenSSH
           Version: 3.7p1
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P5
         Component: Miscellaneous
        AssignedTo: openssh-bugs at mindrot.org
        ReportedBy: ssh at farnz.org.uk


I currently use OpenSSH to access a set of machines that I am not root on (the 
servers run OpenSSH too). Authentication is by one of keys or passwords 
entered at the keyboard. I want to be able to indicate that for my account, 
only key based authentication is permissible, without impacting on other users 
of the account. I've not been able to find a way to do this via the current 
sshd. 
 
The idea is to add a per-user file, which can be used to indicate which 
authentication methods the user does not want to use; sshd would then accept 
only those methods that are allowed by the sysadmin in sshd_config, and not 
blocked by the user in this file.
