Hiya Scott,

I compared your -vvv output to mine, when I connect to a site where my digital keys work successfully. The start of the log (to my surprise) was identical... Here's the part where they started to look different:

debug3: authmethod_is_enabled password
debug1: next auth method to try is password

Mine look like this:

debug1: authentications that can continue: publickey,keyboard-interactive
debug3: start over, passed a different list publickey,keyboard-interactive
debug3: preferred publickey,keyboard-interactive,password
debug3: authmethod_lookup publickey
debug3: remaining preferred: keyboard-interactive,password
debug3: authmethod_is_enabled publickey
debug1: next auth method to try is publickey

What this seems to be saying is that the client software (on IBM i) prefers publickey, then keyboard interactive. The server (in my case) says it allows publickey, keyboard-interactive, and password. In your case, though, the server *only* seems to allow password. So OpenSSH has little choice but to accept that?

At least, that's my interpretation... areally hard to know, since it's designed for someone who understands the source code. The debugN: messages aren't really intended for the end user.

Everything prior to this is identical, with the sole exception of the part where it lists the server software (though, they both come to the same conclusions and use protocol version 2.0... so I don't think the server software has any relevance.)
