Well, it does what it says - "noninteract" will re-send the same username
and password, and "interact" will make it interact with you, read: ask
for username and password again.
The difference is relevant if the password is not static, like when using
RSA keys or yubikeys that create a one-time-password - so re-trying with
the same password is guaranteed to fail.
