But, even if I have this set to "no", and I do an interactive login, 
then both me and the remote box need to know my password.

public/private keys avoid the above issue.

But I dont' see how setting PasswordAuthentication yes accomplishes the 
above.

Obviously I'm missing something.  I'm going to go reread the thread
