[lug] stupid ssh config question

[Dan Mackin]

You should be able to have pass auth set to no and still use keys. In fact,
it's recommended if you're going to use keys. Otherwise you're bypassing
keypair auth and just using pass auth. If all you changed was setting pass
auth to yes, you're likely now just bypassing keypair auth.
