Re: Not sure how to do this tricky install...

Sounds like a good idea. The option should have been called
something else though. One of my co-workers saw
PermitRootLogin without-password
in some of the config files I set up, and nearly had a
panic-attack! Some phrase more like "only-by-keys". Or
at least include a comment in the sshd_config file which
makes that clear to admins who aren't used to seeing that
option.
