That describes my issue.  I don't mind setting up ssh keys for the internal 
network, but I need to be mobile with my laptop, and do not want just anybody 
who happens to "borrow" the laptop to be able to access the network.  It 
could be a few hours or more before I can return to the network and remove 
that key...

So, I end up leaving password attempts enabled for SSH, but make sure I have a 
strong password - a necessary evil I think...
