Hey all,
is it possible to disable password-based login for a specific user account?
I need to let them use SSH-Key based login only, yet allow one other user to stick with the password-based authentication.
thanks.

Try something like

Match User <username>
PasswordAuthentication no

in sshd_config.

Try public-key authenticated ssh.
