Default SSHD per user config

Hi,

Using Gentoo Linux... I currently have a user setup with certificate
authentication. Another user should authenticate using a password. The
sshd_config file seems to be an all or nothing switch. Can authentication
method be configured per user?

Thanks!

A question like this came up once before. I think the recommended
solution was to run sshd with different configurations on different
ports. A non-standard port will also reduce the number of script-kiddie
login attempts.
