Hi Daren, thank you for reading me,

# grep -v '#' /etc/ssh-portable/sshd_config | grep -v -e '^$'
KbdInteractiveAuthentication yes
PasswordAuthentication no
AuthenticationMethods publickey,keyboard-interactive:pam
UsePAM yes
SyslogFacility AUTHPRIV
LogLevel DEBUG
PubkeyAuthentication yes
AuthorizedKeysFile      .ssh/authorized_keys

I pasted my ssh config, I was under the impression that 

PasswordAuthentication no

did indeed disable password authentication.

After some more testing, if I use PAM_ABORT exit code instead of
PAM_MAXTRIES, sshd does exist without falling back to a password
prompt.
