Grumble, 

sshd_config lies...

Checking the security log shows that ssh is using PAM even
though sshd_config had

#UsePAM no

I had to uncomment the above line and reboot to get
password authentication killed.

....Hold the phone...
I just checked another one of my macs and the sshd_config file
is *different* from the one on the server! They are running the
same OS version and level.

My other mac has 
#UsePAM yes
and more discussion prior to the directive.

I can understand that PAM needs to be used on macs due to the unique
way that mac os handles passwords.

I seem to recall that I had to use PAM to get qpopper to work a
long time ago :)

Oh well, one question answered...

Jerry
