Does the Lish console bypass "PasswordAuthentication no"?
PasswordAuthentication no
It appears that password-based authentication is disallowed for the Lish console, or I'm making a typing mistake.
(I can ssh in ok from my main workstation using key-based authentication.)
I'm trying to interpret this part of the docs…
(
> The [Lish] console provides out-of-band access to your Linode, which means you can use Lish to access your Linode even when you are unable to connect directly via SSH. This is useful if firewall settings or a bad network configuration prevent you from accessing your Linode using SSH.
Should I expect to be able to log in via the Lish console using my username and password, or does that ssh config apply Lish as well?

The point being, if you locked yourself out of ssh, you can still get there via Lish as if you were standing there at the keyboard.
beat me to it…
It appears I was making some kind of mistake with copy-and-paste, maybe inserting a return or something.
Now it's working.
