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! |

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. -- "Hello, zeeba neighba!" --crocodile in "Pearls Before Swine" |
