I'm trying to get ssh/sshd configured so that only 2 methods will work to allow access.

1) ssh agent provides credentials
2) passphrase (but no password) authentication if the agent isn't available.

I've got the agent part working but can't get authentication to ONLY ask for a passphrase.

Is the problem on the ssh or sshd end?
