Hmm, I can't! This is a FreeBSD server and it's rather locked down with
respect to normal user access rights.

Cool! I can't find this in my sshd_config file for some reason. So, all I
need to ask them to do is uncomment #Match User and add my user name and
options? Like so:
=================================
Match User mick
PubkeyAuthentication yes
AuthorizedKeysFile ~/.ssh/authorized_keys
PasswordAuthentication no
=================================
Is that correct?
