The branch stable/12 has been updated by emaste: URL: https://cgit.FreeBSD.org/src/commit/?id=a5e7c28b9b84b81bbb8a8242ae44cc073b0103dc commit a5e7c28b9b84b81bbb8a8242ae44cc073b0103dc Author: Ed Maste <emaste@FreeBSD.org> AuthorDate: 2022-05-25 13:32:57 +0000 Commit: Ed Maste <emaste@FreeBSD.org> CommitDate: 2022-06-16 13:37:36 +0000 sshd_config: clarify password authentication options Passwords may be accepted by both the PasswordAuthentication and KbdInteractiveAuthentication authentication schemes. Add a reference to the latter in the description/comment for PasswordAuthentication, as it otherwise may seem that "PasswordAuthentication no" implies passwords will be disallowed. This situation should be clarified with more extensive documentation on the authentication schemes and configuration options, but that should be done in coordination with upstream OpenSSH. This is a minimal change that will hopefully clarify the situation without requiring an extensive local patch set.
