This has been a source of annoyance (for me) over the past few months.
Of course it would have been avoided had I actually examined the diff of
sshd_config in mergemaster so I'm not really complaining.=20

To get rid of the s/key functionality uncomment this line in
/etc/ssh/sshd_config:

    # Uncomment to disable s/key passwords=20
    ChallengeResponseAuthentication no

Do enough people actually use s/key to justify having it enabled by
default?
