sftpfs uses password authentication over keyboard-interactive authentication,
thus we need to set:

PasswordAuthentication yes

in /etc/ssh/sshd_config.

pkg-descr or pkg-message should advise the users of this fact.

I had to turn on debugging in sshd to learn that sftpfs uses password
authentication and not keyboard-interactive authentication.

Maybe upstream should consider adding keyboard-interactive and/or publickey
authentication.
