Comment 1 for bug 314899

Thank you for taking the time to report this issue. I am marking this bug as invalid as it seems to be a mixture of default (wished) behaviour and not yet fully configurated ssh client. I suggest you to create or tune your ~/.ssh/config file where you can set specific settings for connections and check /etc/ssh/ssh_config against defaults.

You'll be interested in the setting:

     PreferredAuthentications
             Specifies the order in which the client should try protocol 2 authentication methods.
             This allows a client to prefer one method (e.g. keyboard-interactive) over another
             method (e.g. password) The default for this option is: “gssapi-with-mic, hostbased,
             publickey, keyboard-interactive, password”.

If you are sure that even this configuration is ignored, feel free to open this bug again and file your .ssh/config /without personal details) and your /etc/ssh/ssh_config.
