I running it at a multinational I work for, on AIX and HP, with
Allow-root logins on 'without-password' (keyfiles only). It works
perfectly... but you need to configure SSH without
USE_AIX_AUTHENTICATION. otherwise it won't work...

If needed, contact me on monday and I'll provide you with my install
instructions and packages if you want..
