Assuming I want to login as any user on the system, hacking pam shouldn't
be necessary, right?

I've made the following changes to the stock /etc/ssh/sshd_config:

PubkeyAuthentication no
PermitRootLogin yes
PasswordAuthentication yes

And of course, restarted the daemon each time I made a change. However,
when I try to ssh in in the following ways:

ssh paulf@buckaroo
ssh root@buckaroo
ssh buckaroo
ssh 192.168.254.30

I get a flat "Permission denied (password,keyboard-interactive)". Not even
an attempt to ask for a password.

Clearly something's wrong, but I have no idea what. And I have googled the
problem and visitied numerous sites to no avail.
