"user at host's password:" <- password authentication "Password:" <- keyboard-interactive authentication the default preference output (man ssh_config) is: PreferredAuthentications “gssapi-with-mic, hostbased, publickey, keyboard-interactive, password” if you override that (in your ~/.ssh/config) to: PreferredAuthentications “gssapi-with-mic, hostbased, publickey, password, keyboard-interactive” it will prefer the longer over the shorter. -Dave -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
