foam.utah.geniracks.net allows password-based SSH

[chaos@bbn.com]

I can login to foam.utah.geniracks.net using my password:

$ ssh -o PubkeyAuthentication=no foam.utah.geniracks.net
chaos@foam.utah.geniracks.net's password:

InstaGENI servers should disable SSH password access whenever possible, and it should be possible to do without loss of functionality in this case.

This falls under the "sites can make their own changes" clause.. :-) I'm doing some testing right now where it's easiest if password auth is on, so it's enabled for the moment. The stock VMs do not have password auth enabled after firstboot.

Ah hah. I hadn't tested it before, so i didn't have a baseline.

In that case, i'll keep this open to verify against the BBN rack that ours has password auth disabled, then close it.

This looks good at BBN:

[13:29:07] jbs@anubis:/home/jbs
+$ ssh -o PubkeyAuthentication=no foam.instageni.gpolab.bbn.com 
Permission denied (publickey).

It's still enabled at foam.utah.geniracks.net, but I think the general case works, so I'll close this one out.
