SSH Login - Forcing keys!
I want to force openssh to only use public/private keys and not allowing the user to use a password to log on if the key fails. Any hints?

Look for the file sshd_config and change the line that says...
PasswordAuthentication yes
to...
PasswordAuthentication no

I'm not sure what distro you're running, but assuming Mandrake, try...
service sshd restart
Or do...
cd /etc/init.d
then...
./sshd restart
