On a recent Fedora system, running fail2ban and sshd not allowing root
logins, I still get a certain number of failed ssh attempts every
day. This is not a particular attractive target to attack.
Is it possible to configure sshd to require both the public/private key
AND a password to get in? It looks like the various flavors of
Connectbox support public/private key, and while perhaps not full blown
2 factor authentication, it would eliminate the possibility of a
successful guessing attack, (won't have key) and if I lost my phone or
tablet with the key, the person with the tablet couldn't get in without
the password.
If so, any pointers to a recipe? sshd_config isn't quite replete with
examples.
