Greetings:

I'm attempting to disable 'keyboard interactive' access prompt on my sshd
server. So far I've been unsuccessful.

I can log in using my remote pub key, but can also login with
'keyboard interactive' prompt.

How can I disable this ? I've set 'PasswordAuthentication no' in
/etc/ssh/sshd_config. I've also set both RSAAuthentication, and
PubkeyAuthentication to yes.

here is what my sshd.config file says:

# Change to yes to enable tunnelled clear text passwords
PasswordAuthentication no

so that option does not do what you think.

what i think you want is:

ChallengeResponseAuthentication no

also, did you restart sshd?
