The release notes at:
     http://www.FreeBSD.org/releases/4.5R/errata.html

imply you can also fix this on the client side by adding the
line:
     PreferredAuthentications publickey,password,keyboard-interactive

to your own ~/.ssh/config file (useful if you need to connect to
some machine where you can't change the /etc/ssh/sshd_config file).
Usually I wouldn't know these things, but I just happened to be
reading the errata notes a few minutes ago...   :-)
