[Bug 1052707] Re: ssh client ignores PasswordAuthentication no

[Robie Basak]

Although I'm not sure, I think PasswordAuthentication is a specific ssh
protocol mode, and a separate mode is KbdInteractiveAuthentication which
technically isn't PasswordAuthentication but could still give you a
password prompt depending on what the server does. Perhaps your FreeBSD
server is doing this?

Please could you try ssh -o PasswordAuthentication=no -o
KbdInteractiveAuthentication=no, and if that still doesn't work then
please add -vvv, obscure any sensitive information and then paste the
result?
