Individual SSH settings

[hooksie]

I've been searching around for this a while, I'm starting to wonder if it can't be done?

Is it possible to override a specific users SSH settings? Specifically I want to force one user to have to use RSA based authenticated but not force it systemwide.

I tried adding "PasswordAuthentication no" to the users ~/.ssh/config file, but this doesn't appear to be working...

~/.ssh/config is used as a user-specific configuration for the ssh client. It sounds like you are trying to change the configuration for the server (sshd), though. I don't believe there are user-specific settings like that for sshd.

man ssh_config
man sshd_config

You can disable all password authentication for a specific user, but then they won't be able to log in locally.

sudo usermod -L username
