[SunHELP] SSH and expired passwords

[Grindell, Joan M.]

If I use a passphrase when logging on,  when the password expires will the
passphrase continue to work.  I think I'm answering my own question  I think
not because there are times we want to expire the password and not let a
user on even if he has a passphrase.

thanks
Joan

if you make a verbose connection attempt (i.e. via 'ssh -v') you may see 
something like:

- ... -

Authentications that can continue: publickey,password,keyboard-interactive

- ... -

that are current supported auth methods ...
